Homework Statement
A scoop carries 610 kg of load with center of mass at G. Neglecting the mass of the
members, calculate the hydraulic force in IJ, (Use g = 9.81 m/s2). Fij = = 11, 051.9516 N (T).

Do you guys have techniques in solving for the Force in hydraulic IJ? I've been stucked for a while now and I can't seem to find the answer.The question says the answer should be = 11, 051.9516 N (T).

Welcome, Sam!

I would create free body diagrams for each of the elements of the mechanism, which connect the hydraulic cylinder with the load.

Create a x-y system of coordinates that aligns with the weight of load vector and decompose each reaction at the joints into Fx and Fy, based on forces and moments that keep the mechanism in static equilibrium.

Please, read the three pages following the one in this link:
