8. The weight W of the traveling crane is 20 tons acting as shown in Figure 1-66. To prevent the crane from tipping to the right when carrying a load of Pof 20 tons, a counterweight Q is used. Determine the value and position of Q so that the crane will remain in equilibrium both when the maximum load Pis applied and when the load Pis removed. w- 20 tors P-20 tons 10 Figure 1-66
