The 900-kg pipe is equally suspended from the two tines of the fork lift shown in the photo. It is undergoing a swinging motion such that when theta = 40 degree it is momentarily at rest. Determine the normal and frictional forces acting on each tine which are needed to support the pipe at the instant theta = 0 degree. Measurements of the pipe and suspender are shown above. Neglect the thickness of the pipe. Assume the suspender is comprised of two slender rods (vertical when theta = 0 degree), each with a length of 0.25 m, a mass of 10 kg, and a center of gravity at its midpoint. Assuming there is no slipping, what is the friction force acting on the suspender at theta = 0 degree? 0 mu-s N mu_k N More information is needed in order to solve.
