In the crane shown, assume that the horizontal arm of the crane weighs 200 kg/m. If a
counterweight of 100kN is used, what is the capacity P of the crane? Also find the moment
at the base of the crane when no load is being carried (i.e., when P=0). What weight should
be added so that the capacity would rise to 8 tons?
