The jib crane is designed for a maximum capacity of 7 kN, and its uniform I-beam has a mass of 250 kg. Plot the magnitude R of the force on the pin at A as a function of x through its operating range of x-0.2 m tox - 4.5 m. On the same set of axes, plot the x- and y- components of the pin reaction at A. Do these plots on a separate piece of paper. Then answer the following questions in Wiley Plus as a check for your work. (a) What is the value of R when x = 1.8 m? (b) What is the value of R when x = 3.5 m? (c) Determine the minimum value of R and the corresponding value of x. (d) For what value of R should the pin at A be designed? 40" kN 7 KN 1.6 m Questions: (a) If x 1.8 m, Ri 3.1 m
