carries a shipping crate suspended from B B that has a weight of
130 kN k N . The main jib DCB D C B (in green) has a weight of 30
kN k N concentrated in the center of the beam. This is pinned to
the main body at D D and is supported by a cable that is routed
through pulleys at F F and G G and is attached to a concrete
counterweight J J . The main body AEFG A E F G (in yellow) is fixed
to the ground at A A .
Determine the weight of counterweight J in order for
the main jib DCB to be horizontal.
Determine the magnitude of
the x and y components of force at pin D.
Determine the reactions at fixed support A.
