You are a design engineer working for the company supplying cranes for the contractors and you have been asked to evaluate the tower design. The crane tower supporting the pulley is designed so that the resultant force from the cable tension running over the pulley is oriented along the tower axis. Note: The tension in the cable is the same on both sides so ||Fill = ||F2l|| = T.arrow_forwardA completely filled barrel and its contents have a combined mass of 100 kg.

An image of this type of crane is shown in the figure.The horizontal steel beam had a mass of 86.80 kg per meter of length, and the P. tension in the cable was T = 12560 N. The crane was rated for a maximum load of 500 kg. If d = 5.870 m, s = 0.522 m, x = 1.650 m, and h = 2.250 m, what was the magnitude of W (the load on the crane) before the collapse?
