The concrete floors of a 65 by 65 ft building are to be cast with the boom pump shown in Fig. 16.17.  The first floor is 10 ft high above ground level, and each additional floor is 8 ft 10 in high.  The truck can make the pumping only from one side of the building, but there is no restriction whatsoever on the truck's location alongside the building or its distance from it.  Lengths of boom sections (taken from boom specifications) are as follows:

Section #1: 26 ft 5 in.

Section #2: 23 ft 8 in.

Section #3: 23 ft 9 in.

Section #4: 24 ft 7 in.

What is the highest floor level that can be covered fully by the boom?
