46 Chapter 2 Problems 2.14 A box weighing 25 pounds (assumed concentrated at its center of gravity) is being pulled by a horizontal force F equal to 20 pounds. What is the moment about point A? Does the box tip over? A 2.15 A large wood bocam weighing 800 N is supported by two posts as shown. If an unthinking man weighing 700 Ń were to walk on the overhang portion of the beam, how far can he go from point A before the beam tips over? (Assume the beam is resting on the two supports with no physical connection.)
