  2. Crossed ladders problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossed_ladders_problem

    The value D is found in the solution as the real part of the difference in the squares of the complex coordinates of the two walls. The imaginary part = 2X a Y a = 2X b Y b (walls a and b). The short ladder in the complex solution in the 3, 2, 1 case appears to be tilted at 45 degrees, but actually slightly less with a tangent of 0.993.

    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 term lateral thinking was coined by Edward de Bono to denote a creative problem-solving style that involves looking at the given situation from unexpected angles, and is typically necessary to the solution of situation puzzles. The term "lateral-thinking puzzle" was popularised by Paul Sloane in his 1992 book Lateral Thinking Puzzlers. [1]

  8. Mathematical puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_puzzle

    Mathematical puzzles require mathematics to solve them. Logic puzzles are a common type of mathematical puzzle. Conway's Game of Life and fractals , as two examples, may also be considered mathematical puzzles even though the solver interacts with them only at the beginning by providing a set of initial conditions.

  9. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    The x direction may be chosen to point down the ramp in an inclined plane problem, for example. In that case the friction force only has an x component, and the normal force only has a y component. The force of gravity would then have components in both the x and y directions: mg sin( θ ) in the x and mg cos( θ ) in the y , where θ is the ...
