About this document
Jib Crane Tension and Force Analysis by Sanjay B. Mangave is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes how to determine the tension in a supporting cable and the force on a pin for a jib crane using algebraic and graphical methods. Algebraically, the system is analyzed using equations of equilibrium and solving for the three unknowns. Graphically, the known vertical forces are combined into a single force and equilibrium of forces is shown using a force polygon. Both methods determine the tension in the cable is 19.61 kN and the force on the pin is 18.88 kN.
