Example $5$

A $120-lb$ crate rests on the $60-$lb pickup tailgate with the centers of gravity are at G$2$ and G$1.$ The crate is located midway between the two cables. Determine the normal stress in in each of the two restraining cables and shear stresses at pin A $($single shear$).$

Use: diam. of Cables $=1$ in $.$

diam. of pin $A=0\mathrm{.}5$ in
