Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If an additional structure of 5,000 k is added to the top of the Eiffel Tower, what will be the new total weight? How would this change affect the design of the inclined supports?

💡 Hint: Simply add the additional weight to the existing total weight.

Question 2

Debate the potential impact of extreme winds on the Eiffel Tower's stability and how the inclined supports might mitigate these effects during a storm.

💡 Hint: Consider why engineers design structures to withstand dynamic forces.
