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 kg90.20 kg per meter of length, and the tension in the cable was T=12040 NT=12040 N. The crane was rated for a maximum load of 500 kg500 kg. If d=5.870 md=5.870 m, s=0.558 ms=0.558 m, x=1.200 mx=1.200 m, and h=1.980 mh=1.980 m, what was the magnitude of WLWL (the load on the crane) before the collapse? The acceleration due to gravity is g=9.810 m/s2g=9.810 m/s2.
What was the magnitude of force FPFP at the attachment point P?
