Problem 4: Placement of wet concrete from the truck shown in the figure below is accomplished using the chute shown in the photo below. Determine the force that the hydraulic cylinder and the truck frame exert on the chute to hold it in the position shown. Note 1: The chute and wet concrete contained along the length have a uniform weight of 35 lb/ft and will act at the center of gravity, point G. Note 2: Point A in the figure is a pinned connection (reacts in both the x and y direction) Note 3: BC acts as a "short link”, meaning it only reacts load in the x-direction. 8 ft 2 ft G 0.25 ft
