A man exerts a force F on the handle of the stationary wheelbarrow at A. The weight of the wheelbarrow along with its load of dirt is 170 lb with center of gravity at G. For the configuration shown, what force F must the man apply at A to make the net moment about the tire contact point B equal to zero?

The tower crane is used to lift the 1.8-ton load upwards at a constant speed. The mass center of the 1.4-ton beam BD is at G1, the mass center of the 0.5-ton beam BC is at G2 and the mass center of the 6.8-ton counterweight C is at G3. A) Determine the moment of force exerted by the load, counterweight and beams together around point A and point B. Let counterclockwise rotation be a plus.Express the answers with three value digits, and separate the force moments for point A and point B with a comma. B) To get the correct answer to the calculation in the previous task, should one assume that the tower crane is a rigid body? (choose the right answer) - Yes, but it is always a bad approximation in reality: all bodies are deformable (regardless of size)- Yes, because it is a good approximation, it would only be bad if the load was so heavy that the crane bent significantly- It does not matter, you can assume it or not, you always get the same mathematical equations no matter what you…
