1. The jib crane is supported by a pin at C and rod AB as shows in Figure Q1. If the load has a mass of 2 Mg with its center of mass located at G, determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pin C and the force developed in rod AB on the crane when x = 6 m.

Step 1
The weight (W) is the mass (m) times the acceleration due to gravity (g). Given that the mass is 2 Mg (or 2000 kg) and g is approximately 9.81 m/s^2, the weight is W = m*g = 2000 kg * 9.81 m/s^2 = 19620 N. Show more…

The jib crane is supported by a pin at C and rod AB. The rod can withstand a maximum tension of 40 kN. If the load has a mass of 2 Mg with its center of mass located, determine the maximum allowable distance and the corresponding horizontal and vertical components of reaction at C.

A crane of mass $m_{1}=3000 \mathrm{kg}$ supports a load of mass $m_{2}=10000 \mathrm{kg}$ as shown in Figure $\mathrm{P} 12.47$ . The crane is pivoted with a frictionless pin at $A$ and rests against a smooth support at $B$ . Find the reaction forces at (a) point $A$ and (b) point $B$ .
The dimensions of a jib crane, which is manufactured by the Basick Co., are given in the figure. If the crane has a mass of $800 \mathrm{kg}$ and a center of mass at $\mathrm{G}$, and the maximum rated force at its end is $F=15 \mathrm{kN}$, determine the reactions at its bearings. The bearing at $A$ is a journal bearing and supports only a horizontal force, whereas the bearing at $B$ is a thrust bearing that supports both horizontal and vertical componcnts.
