The image on the left is a tower crane. We need to be able to lift a load of 2kg. The image on the right shows the needed dimensions. And there should be a distributed load on the beam of 11.7N/m(Basically this is the weight of the beam). Using equations of equilibrium we need to find the calculated counterweight Wc and the reactions A and B.(Fyi the counterweight should be around 2 kg). Also, draw a shear and moment diagrams for the crane. please show all the steps and solve. (FBD could be wrong)
