Answer:
4 ft down as per the image attached.
5 ft down as per the question statement.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
A Pallet of concrete blocks is at the back of a truck.
The pallet is lifted by the crane to a height of 8 ft (as per image attached ) or 7 ft (as per question statement) and then the truck moves forward.
Now, the pallet is lowered down to a distance of 12 ft.
To find:
The final position of the pallet relative to the position from the back of the truck?
Solution:
If we closely look at the figure attached, it can be interpreted that the pallet is taken 8 feet above and then 12 feet down.
Therefore, if we subtract 8 feet from 12 feet, we will have our answer.
So, the position of the pallet with respect to its position in the truck is =
12 ft - 8 ft = <em>4 ft down</em>.
If we consider the question statement:
12 ft - 7 ft = <em>5 ft down</em>
