Unit 2 - Statics and Materials.
Our first static structures: the paper towers we built today. These 15 short rolls of paper held over 16 kg (35 lbs) without flinching. In this unit you will learn how to identify and calculate forces acting on a body when it is in static equilibrium. You will determine the centroid, moment of inertia, and the modulus of elasticity of a structural member. You will calculate internal and external forces of a truss. Finally, you will use this knowledge to design, build, and test your own bridge.
Homework:
