Homework Statement
pivot point located at the middle of ramp( Point C).
F1=250 lbs @ 12 in from point A
F2=250 lbs @ 84 in from point A
L=192 in
angle from the ground is 25 degrees
Homework Equations
sum of moments equal to 0
sum of forces equal to to 0
The Attempt at a Solution
I did sum of moments about point c equal to 0 , solve for Ra
0=(F1*84)+ (F2*12) - (Ra*96)
Ra= 250 lbs in
Same thing for Rc
0=-(F1*12)-(F2*84)+(Rc*96)
Rc=-250 lbs in
My question is does the angle make a big difference?
