Question: A forklift operator has lifted a crate ( mass = m 1 ) , and has stopped on a sloped ramp ( angle = a

A forklift operator has lifted a crate ( mass =m1), and has stopped on a sloped ramp (angle =a). The forklift itself (mass =m2), has a centre of mass
acting at point G. The rear wheel acts as a roller support at point B whereas there are brakes on the front wheels at point A(pin support).
Given the information in the table above, determine:
the reactions at the rear wheel, point B,
kN,(3 sigfig)
the reactions at the front wheel, point A,
Fy=
kN,(3 sigfig)
Fx=
kN,(3 sigfig)
the maximum height the forklift can lift up to without tipping over (at the same place and with the same mass),
[m],(3 sigfig)
A forklift operator has lifted a crate ( mass = m
