Concept explainers
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 kg and a center of mass at G, and the maximum rated force at its end is F = 15 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 components.

- The hoist consists of a single rope and an arrangement of frictionless pulleys as shown. If the angle 0 = 33°, determine the force that must be applied to the rope, Frope, to lift a load of 4.7 kN. The three- pulley and hook assembly at the center of the system has a mass of 28.5 kg with a center of mass that lies on the line of action of the force applied to the hook. cc 130 BY NC SA 2013 Michael Swanbom Note the figure may not be to scale.
