If you can explain as you are doing it trying to understand it better

The freestanding tower crane shown will be supported on a 16-ft-square concrete foundation. The concrete foundation has a unit weight of 150 pcf. One of the design criteria for the foundation is to prevent overturning of the crane about the toe of the footing. A factor of safety of \( 1.5 \) is required on all overturning forces under the following combination of loads: Pick load, \( P_{p} \) Boom weight, \( P_{b} \) Counterweight, \( P_{C} \) Mast weight, \( P_{m} \) Wind on boom, \( W_{b} \) Wind on mast, \( W_{m} \) Neglecting tower sway, the maximum pick load \( P_{p} \) (kips) is most nearly:
