Model Construction

STRONG SHAPES

Follow from the instruction sheets which allows the use of sticky tape and 6 sheets of A4 paper to be folded into cylinders to support as many heavy books as possible.

We used our 1 kg Jacaranda Atlases.

Results are in table.

The cylinders that supported the greatest mass were:

1.Short ( to be stable)

2.Wide in diameter ( big area on ground)

3.Wrapped many times.

4.Held together well with sticky tape

5.Postitioned at maxinum distance.

6. All cylinders are to be identical in

height.

Our new tower above, built using the knowledge gained from the exercise, held approximately 60 kg of books.
