Question
The image depicts a truck with a dumpster labeled as "D." The dumpster has a weight of 4,200 pounds and its center of gravity is at point "G." The dumpster is supported by a pin at point "A" and a hydraulic cylinder at point "BC." The task is to calculate the force in the cylinder "BC" measured in pounds.

The graphical elements include:

- A side view of the truck with the dumpster elevated at an angle.
- The dumpster dimensions: 3 meters in length and additional section labeled as 1.5 meters from point G to the end, and 1 meter from point A to point G.
- The hydraulic cylinder is positioned at an angle of 30° to the ground, connecting point B on the dumpster to point C on the truck chassis.
- The dumpster is tilted at an angle of 20° from the horizontal plane.

The purpose of the diagram is to visually represent the forces and dimensions for analytical calculation of the force within the hydraulic cylinder.
