A hydraulically powered lift supports the two boxes shown. All members are pin connected and their weights are negligible. Assume that the weights of the boxes and centers of gravity are known. From the whole system free-body diagram, assuming none of the external support reactions have been solved for previously, determine the single equation of equilibrium that would be a direct solution for the force in member DE.

A hydraulically powered lift supports the two boxes shown. All members are pin connected and their weights are negligible. Assume that the weights of the boxes and centers of gravity are known. From the free-body diagram of member ABC, assuming that the pin reactions at C are known, determine the single equation of equilibrium that would be a direct solution for the force in the hydraulic cylinder BE.

A physical therapist (PT) is evaluating a patient in the outpatient setting for low back pain.  During their examination, the patient shared that they have been struggling with fatigue over the past few weeks and have experienced feelings of fullness and decreased appetite. The PT observes that the patient’s abdomen is distended, and they have 3+ pitting edema in both legs. On auscultation, the PT notes an S3 heart sound. The patient’s resting heart rate is 90 bpm, SpO2 95% on room air, and respiratory rate is 15 breaths per minute. Based on these findings, what is the patient’s most probable medical diagnosis?
