Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A crane with a load of 10 tons is positioned 15 meters from the tipping axis. Calculate the overturning moment if the height of the load is 5 meters.

💡 Hint: Use the formula: Moment = Force × Distance.

Question 2

Analyze the scenario where a truck-mounted crane fails to use outriggers while lifting. Discuss the potential risks and recommend safety measures.

💡 Hint: Consider both the mechanical and human factors involved in crane operation.
