Problom 2
A safety engineer establishing limits on the load that can be carried by a forklift analyzes the situation shown. The dimensions are a=1.10m,b=0.75m and c=0.6m. The combined weight of the forklift and operator is Wi=4.5kN. As the weight WL supported by the forklift increases, the normal force exerted on the floor by the rear wheels at B decreases. The forklift is on the verge of tipping forward when the normal force at B is zero. Determine the value of WL that will cause this condition (overturning).
