Problem 4.6

The crane can be adjusted for any angle 0∘ ≤ θ ≤ 90


∘
and any extension 0 ≤ x ≤ 5 m . Neglect the size of the pulley at
B.

Part A
For a suspended mass of 140 kg, determine the correct expression for the moment developed at A as a function of x
and θ. Assume the positive direction to be counterclockwise.
ANSWER:

MA = −1.37 cos θ(7.5 + x) kN ⋅ m

MA = 1.37 cos θ(7.5 + x) kN ⋅ m

MA = 1.37 sin θ(7.5 + x) kN ⋅ m

MA = −1.37 sin θ(7.5 + x) kN ⋅ m

Correct

Part B
What values of both x and θ develop the maximum possible moment at A ?
Express your answers in meters and degrees, respectively. Enter your answers separated by a comma.
ANSWER:

xmax , θmax = 5.00,0 m ,∘
