The crane provides a long-reach capacity by using the telescopic boom segment DE. The entire boom is supported by a pin at A and by the telescopic hydraulic cylinder BC, which can be considered as a two-force member. The rated load capacity of the crane is measured by a maximum force developed in the hydraulic cylinder. If this maximum force is developed when the boom supports a mass m = 6 Mg and its length is l = 40 and = 60°, determine the greatest mass that can be supported when the boom length is extended to l = 50 m and = 45°. Neglect the weight of the boom and the size of the pulley at E. Assume the crane does not overturn. Note: when = 60° BC is vertical; however, when = 45° this is not the case.
