After an unfortunate accident at a local warehouse, in which a jib crane collapsed and injured a worker, the owners want to determine the cause. A diagram of the jib crane is shown in the image. The horizontal steel beam had a mass of 93.60 kg per meter of length and the tension in the cable was T = 12.69 kN. The crane was rated for a maximum load of 1000 lbs. Consider that d = 5.580 m, S = 0.594 m, h x = 1.450 m, and h = 1.890 m. P What was the load W on the crane before the collapse? Wi = W. What was the magnitude of force at the attachment point P? Fp = N
