Question

What are the various types of cross sections preferred for crane hook?

Answer 1

Answer:

Trapezoidal cross-section hooks are more frequent since they can withstand higher vertical stress and deflection.

Explanation:

• Using the curved beam principle, the crane hook for five distinct cross sections, namely circular, rectangular, trapezoidal, triangular, and t-section, is effectively designed.

•  It can absorb and store more strain energy, assuring the crane's safety.
