Mechanics of Materials 8th Edition Problem – 5.1

Consider the sketch of the movable crane. Make a free-body diagram of the mobile crane. The wheels are 4 ft apart and the center of gravity is halfway between the wheels. Assume the ballast is an external force acting one foot behind the left axle and that the weight hanging off the crane at point B is also treated as an external force. Draw the free body diagram, label all the forces and dimensions. Be sure to include a coordinate axis.
