The ramp of a ship has a weight of F Ib acts in the center of gravity at G. The ramp is supported by a pin at point "A" and a smooth surface on "B". If the ramp was in equilibrium, answer the following questions: a. Draw the free body diagram of the ramp AB. b. Determine the cable force at C that is needed to lift the ramp (that makes the reaction at B equals to Zero). c. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at pin A. Take the values of F (kN), a (deg) and X (m) from Table 1. F F(lb) = 585 P(lb) = 215 X(ft) = 5 Y(ft) = 10 a(deg) = 30 Show all steps of the solution.
