A crane pulls upwards on a 250 kg bin with a force of 3200 N

draw an FBD

1 answer

The free body diagram would show the following forces acting on the bin:

1. Weight of the bin (mg): 250 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 2450 N acting downwards
2. Tension force from the crane: 3200 N acting upwards

Therefore, the free body diagram would show a vector representing the tension force from the crane pointing upwards and a vector representing the weight of the bin pointing downwards.
