Alice : Cheshire Puss, would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?
Cat : That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,
Alice : I don't much care where -
Cat : Then it doesn't matter which way you go,
Alice : - so long as I get somewhere,
Cat : Oh you're sure to do that, if you only walk long enough.

Puzzle of the day from perplexus.info:Cantilever Structure (Difficulty: 3 of 5) 
The cantilever structure shown in the figure consists of 4n-1 struts of the same length plus one that is half that length. Each strut can handle a maximum tension force T before it will snap and a maximum compression force C before it will buckle. The structure is connected to a wall at points B and C. A weight W is attached at point A. The weight W is increased until two struts fail - one from tension and the other from compression. What is the value of the ratio C/T if n = 25? Consider the struts as weightless. Comments and solution | More in " Science" | Add to your page |
