Question

In step 4, I think we should write [ M=6x8=48kN.m ] because x=9.815m is not perpendicular to the force P.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thank you in advance,

Question
The towline exerts a force of P= 6 kN at the end of
the 8-m-long crane boom. If e = 30°, determine the
placementx of the hook at B so that this force creates a
maximum moment about point 0. What is this moment?

Expert Answer
Step 1
The free body diagram of the crane is given below.
Psina
Step 2
Consider the moment about point O.
M = Pcosa x0+Psina
M = Psin a
For maximumM,
sina=1
a = 90°
Step 3
From above figure distance x is calculated as,
x = OB, + B,B
= OA cos 0 + AB, tan 6
= OA cos 0+ (OA sin 0+1) tan 0
= 8cos 30° + (8sin 30° +1) tan 30°
= 9.815 m
Step 4
The maximum moment is calculated as,
M = Px
= 6 kN x9.815 m
= 58.99 kN-m
