This problem requires an equation that you haven't included yet. So we'll start with: \SigmaF = max \SigmaF = Px + fx + Nx + Wx max = Px + fx+ Nx + Wx \mu = -a / g Try to solve it from here.

Yes... thank you!

Yes it does... especially the 2gh=v^2. One last question: do I need the v^1, or can I find it from what is given?

I'm not sure I understand. Is the pho supposed to be rho or p*rho?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks so so much! I wasn't so sure if I was getting those right. So now I think I can solve for T in this problem and then plug that value back into the \SigmaFx and \SigmaFy equations to get V and H. :)

Ok, so far I think I've figured out: Sum of the torques = 0 0 = -Tsintheta(L-p) + Wboom(L/2) + Wload (L-x)

I think a good place for the pivot point would be at the intersection of the V and H forces. Does this work?
