Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If the total weight of the Eiffel Tower is increased by adding additional decorations at the top which tweaks the load distribution, how would engineers address this?

💡 Hint: Consider how structures are reinforced at their weakest points.

Question 2

Given the inclination of the supports, calculate the angle required if the height of the first platform is modified. If the new height is 200 meters and the base remains 100 meters wide, what is the angle of inclination?

💡 Hint: Remember the basic trigonometric functions and their relationships.
