Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A crane is required to lift a load of 10,000 kg. The boom weighs 3,000 kg, and it experiences a wind load of 1,000 kg. Calculate the necessary stabilizing moment to ensure crane safety.

💡 Hint: Consider all inputs that could affect tipping.

Question 2

Analyze a scenario where the boom angle is increased from 30 degrees to 60 degrees. Discuss the implications this change has on the crane's stability and its lifting capacity.

💡 Hint: Think about how angles affect both distance and strength.
