The machine shown is used for moving heavy items such as pallets of bricks around construction sites. Determine the force in the single hydraulic cylinder CD (positive if in tension, negative if in compresssion). The mass of the cube of bricks is 2045 kg with mass center at G2. You may neglect the effects of the mass of the forklift components.
Assume a=710mm,b=210mm,c=400mm,d=30mm,e=730mm.
