The cantilevered jib crane is used to support the load of 780 lb. If the trolley T can be placed anywhere between 1.5 ft ≤ x ≤ 7.5 ft, determine the maximum magnitude of reaction at the supports A and B. Note that the supports are collars that allow the crane to rotate freely about the vertical axis. The collar at B supports a force in the vertical direction, whereas the one at A does not.
