Question

A 3000-kg crane is supporting a 10,000-kg crate. The crane pivots about point A and is at rest pressed against a support at B. (a) Find the force acting on the crane at point A. (b) Find the force acting on the crane at point B. (c) Use Order of Magnitude sense-making to determine the reasonableness of your answers to parts (a) and (b). Hint: consider how the lever arm to the crate is much different than that to other points.

3000-kg crane is supporting a 10,000-kg crate. The crane pivots about point A and is at rest pressed against support at B. Find the force acting on the crane at point A. Use Order of Magnitude sense-making to determine the reasonableness of your answers to parts (a) and (b). Hint: consider how the lever arm to the crate is much different than that to other points.
