Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A crane is lifting a load at different luffing angles: 30°, 45°, and 60°. Calculate the operating radius at each angle if the base distance is 10 meters. Discuss the implications of each angle on stability.

💡 Hint: Use cosine for distance calculations and consider how it affects stability.

Question 2

During a lifting operation, a crane's boom is luffed improperly, leading to a potential tipping scenario. Identify the critical factors that should be adjusted to ensure stability and safety.

💡 Hint: Think safety first: balance and weigh options.
