  2. Crossed ladders problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_ladders_problem

    The problem may be reduced to the quartic equation x 3 (x − c) − 1 = 0, which can be solved by approximation methods, as suggested by Gardner, or the quartic may be solved in closed form by Ferrari's method. Once x is obtained, the width of the alley is readily calculated. A derivation of the quartic is given below, along with the desired ...

    The first nine blocks in the solution to the single-wide block-stacking problem with the overhangs indicated. In statics, the block-stacking problem (sometimes known as The Leaning Tower of Lire (Johnson 1955), also the book-stacking problem, or a number of other similar terms) is a puzzle concerning the stacking of blocks at the edge of a table.

    The elastic half-space problem is solved analytically, see the Boussinesq-Cerruti solution. Due to the linearity of this approach, multiple partial solutions may be super-imposed. Using the fundamental solution for the half-space, the full 3D contact problem is reduced to a 2D problem for the bodies' bounding surfaces.
