Welcome to our latest installment of Wind Study, featuring homework problems using 2-D geometry and rates.
On Monday, we asked for your help to determine the length of the ladders inside our utility-scale wind turbines, as well as how long it would take one of our technicians to climb one of these ladders. (If you haven’t read Monday’s question yet, click here.)
The answers to these questions can be downloaded via the link below.

Below, a One Energy employee is pictured climbing the ladder inside a wind turbine tower. (Note that the employee is wearing various gear, which is required to keep climbers safe when working in the turbine.)
For an up-close view of the inside of a One Energy wind turbine, check out our “Virtual Tour of a Wind Farm” below! (Ladder-specific footage begins at 19:35.)
Check back on Monday for a new Wind Study question, which will be posted to our Facebook and Twitter accounts as well!
