The uniform crate shown in the figure weighs 200 lb. It is pulled up the incline by a counterweight W of 400 lb. Find the maximum and minimum values of d so that the crate does not tip over as it slides up the incline. Determine the weight W if the 200 lb crate is on the verge of tipping forward as it slides up the incline. Assume d = 3.32 ft.
