The arm of a crane at a construction site is
16.0 m long, and it makes an angle of 13.9
◦
with the horizontal. Assume that the maximum load the crane can handle is limited
by the amount of torque the load produces
around the base of the arm.
What maximum torque can the crane withstand if the maximum load the crane can
handle is 738 N?
Answer in units of N · m.
1 answer
738 N * 16.0 m * cos(13.9º)
