Abstract
This assignment requires to design a crane which will keep the boom at an angle of 45o, hold up a mass of 10 kg being loaded on the boom, and also to find an appropriate counter weight which will keep the crane from tipping over but not exceed half of the load .we are allowed to use as many links in the design but it must have at least two links and the carne should not be more than the dimension 50x50x30(all in cm) and the most importantly the weight of crane must be 40g and below .balsa wood is the material that has been used for building this crane.
For more understanding of the applied mechanic topic we were advised to complete the free body diagram, force analysis of the crane as well as centroid and some brief description and discussion to achieve the aim of the given project.

Introduction
As we live our life in tall and huge skyscraper without showing any interest to know how they build and even asking our self how these heavy material have been lifted to 30 floors up, engineers are working hard on the same concept but the different is that they know answer of question and that is the reason they are working. the answer is simple of course crane is the machine that lift heavy material up and help human to build these skyscrapers .
A crane is a type of machine, generally equipped
