The uniform crate shown in the figure weighs 200 lb. It pulled up the incline by a counterweight W of 400 lb. Find the maximum and minimum values of D so that the crate does not tip over as it slides up the incline. Determine the weight W if the 200 lb crate is on the verge of tipping forward as it slides up the incline. Also, assume D = 3.32 ft

Question

The uniform crate shown in the figure weighs 200 lb. It pulled up the incline by a counterweight W of 400 lb. Find the maximum and minimum values of D so that the crate does not tip over as it slides up the incline. Determine the weight W if the 200 lb crate is on the verge of tipping forward as it slides up the incline. Also, assume D = 3.32 ft

 

Final answer:

max. d = 3.35 ft ; min. d = 1.61 ft
