An engineer trying to determine whether her crane will tip over when attempting to lift a 20K load. Her crane has a 5K chassis and 50K counterweight. Assume all other parts of the crane have negligible weight. Answer all questions relative to the rotation point. How much torque is caused by the load? 500 Kft How much torque is caused by the chassis? 50 Kft How much torque is caused by the counterweight? 750 Kft What is the normal force on the rear (right) outriggers? 15 K What is the normal force on the front (left) outriggers? 60 K 5ft load BARNHART counter weight
