The tower crane is used to hoist a 2000 kg load upward at constant velocity.
The 1500 kg jib BD and 500 kg jib BC have centres of mass at G1 and G2, respectively.
The centre of mass for the counterweight is located at G3.
Determine the required mass of the counterweight C so that the resultant moment produced by the load and the weight of the tower crane jibs about point A is zero.
State the result [kg]
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…
If the tension in the gantry-crane hoisting cable is T = 28 kN, determine the unit vector n in the direction of T and use n to determine the scalar components of T. Point B is located at the center of the container top.Assume a = 13 m, b = 8 m, c = 2 m, d = 6 m, e = 10 m, f = 5 m, and h = 18 m.
