An object of weight 8526 N hangs at an angle of 5.0°?

An object of weight 8526 N hangs at an angle of 5.0° when the crane’s trolley at point P moves to the

right with constant acceleration, as shown in the diagram

Basically, the crane’s arm is horizontal and the trolley is moving right with the object trailing by 5 degrees

    Yeah i’ve seen the diagram.

    Are you asking how fast the crane is accelerating?

    Well this is quite easy:

    90 – 5 = 85 degrees from horizontal

    gravity = 9.8 m/s^2

    9.8/tan(85) = 0.8574 m/s^2 (answer)
