RMweb Premium Sidecar Racer Posted November 26, 2014 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 26, 2014 Question: An excavator weighing 22 tons is on top of a Lowboy trailer and heading east on the Trans-Canada Highway in Alberta. The extended shovel arm is made of hardened refined steel and the approaching overpass is made of commercial-grade concrete, reinforced with 1 inch steel bar spaced at 6 inch intervals in a criss-cross pattern layered at 1 foot vertical spacing. Solve: When the shovel arm hits the overpass, how fast do you have to be going to slice the bridge in half? (Assume no effect for head wind and no braking by the driver) bridge slicer.jpg Well thats one way to get it off the trailer . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

station cat Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 You presumably haven't see the Aussie camouflage with sewn on reflective strips http://www.navy.gov.au/about/organisation/uniforms I should possibly mention the US Navy's blue camouflage but that's more than So far as I can see the only thing that camouflages you against is the sea - which is fat load of good unless you fall in - and if that happens you want to be as visible as possible.
