A mobile crane is lifting a large concrete block W at a constuction site, as shown in the figure below. The crane
body has a weight of W1=9000lb and the crane boom has a weight of W2=1100lb, which act at the
centers of gravity CG1 and CG2 respectively. The center of gravity locations (L1&L2), the distance between
the front and rear tires (L3), and the location of the lifting weight (L4) are given as follows: L1=30 in,
L2=100in,L3=130 in, and L4=125in.
Note: Express your answers following the standard sign convention for the coordinate system shown.
