After an unfortunate accident occurred at a local warehouse, you were contracted to determine the cause. A jib crane collapsed and injured a worker. An image of this type of crane is shown in the figure. The horizontal steel beam had a mass of 90.20 kg per meter of length, and the tension in the cable was T = 12820 N. The crane was rated for a maximum load of 500 kg. The acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.810 m/s². If d = 5.290 m, s = 0.594 m, x = 1.250 m, and h = 2.250 m, what was the magnitude of W₁ (the load on the crane) before the collapse? What was the magnitude of force Fp at the attachment point P?
