4-28. The tower crane is used to hoist a 2-Mg load upward
at constant velocity. The 1.5-Mg jib BD and 0.5-Mg jib BC
have centers of mass at G, and G2, respectively. Determine
the required mass of the counterweight C so that the resultant
moment produced by the load and the weight of the tower
crane jibs about point A is zero. The center of mass for the
counterweight is located at Gy.
