Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 4.56:**
Determine the force \( F \) required to keep the 200-kg crate in equilibrium in the position shown.
**Description of the Diagram:**
The diagram shows a mechanical system in which a 200-kg crate is suspended. The setup involves:
- A horizontal beam labeled \( AC \) with a length of 8 m.
- A cable connecting point \( A \) to point \( B \). This cable makes an angle of \( 34^\circ \) with the horizontal and has a length of 6.5 m.
- The crate is attached at point \( B \).
- Another cable runs vertically from the pulley at point \( C \) to the point where force \( F \) is applied downward.
The goal is to determine the necessary force \( F \) to maintain the system in equilibrium.
**Figure Reference:**
- The image is referred to as "Figure P4.56."
