a. You are a mechanical engineer tasked with overseeing the equipment used in constructing a high-rise. A tower crane, used to lift and move heavy construction loads, is being used in the construction site. A load of construction material is attached to the jib of a tower crane at a distance of r = 62.42e0.02/ m from the tower. i. If the load weighs F = 5000e-1.57) N, find the torque at the point where the jib connects to the tower. The torque z is given by T = Fr ii. Find the counterweight (in Newtons) that should be fixed on the other side of the tower at a distance of l = 14e3.17) m in order to balance the torque you calculated in į above.

You are a mechanical engineer tasked with overseeing the equipment used in constructing a high-rise. A tower crane, used to lift and move heavy construction loads, is being used in the construction site.

a. You are a mechanical engineer tasked with overseeing the equipment used in constructing a high-rise. A tower crane, used to lift and move heavy construction loads, is being used in the construction site. A load of construction material is attached to the jib of a tower crane at a distance of r = 62.42e0.02j m from the tower. i. If the load weighs F = 5000e-1.57) N, find the torque at the point where the jib connects to the tower. The torque t is given by T = Fr ii. Find the counterweight (in Newtons) that should be fixed on the other side of the tower at a distance of l = 14e3.17) m in order to balance the torque you calculated in į above.
