Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A crane needs to lift a load from a level 5 meters tall and reach a height of 50 meters. Using a range diagram, how do you calculate the required boom length if the load is 15 meters horizontally away?

💡 Hint: Look for the intersection on the diagram, remembering to consider the full height.

Question 2
