The homogeneous rectangular crate weighs 250 lb and is supported in the horizontal position by the cable at A and the corner hinge at O. If the cable at A is suddenly released, calculate the angular velocity w of the crate just before it strikes the 30° incline. Does the weight of the crate influence the results, other quantities unchanged?
