The following problems are to be solved using the principle of virtual work.
Problem
This device raises a load W by extending the hydraulic actuator DE. The bars AD and BC are each 2 m long, and the distances b = 1.4 m and h = 0.8 m. If W = 4 kN, what force must the actuator exert to hold the load in equilibrium?
