When the lifting mechanism is operating, the 400-lb load is given an upward acceleration of 5 ft/s2. Determine the compressive force the load creates in each of the columns, AB and CD. What is the compressive force in each of these columns if the load is moving upward at a constant velocity of 3 ft/s? Assume the columns only support an axial load.
