A load that weighs 165kg and has an end to end length of 1.2m has to be lifted by a crane. We have slings of length 72.0cm that are rated to 1.10kN each that can be attached to the ends of the weight a) Draw and label a free body diagram for the load, with two slings attached, leading to a crane hook in the middle and used to support the weight b) What is the tension force in each sling in this case? Is it safe to lift the load in this way? c) What is the minimum angle at which 1.10kN slings can be used in this case?
