Day 9 Physics Bridge Project
Day 9
Today we decided to rework the bottom truss as we had made it to difficult to fit on the test beam. It was a quiet day without the seniors and it felt slow moving tiday. Will and I have the a push wed so tomorrows our last day of building
Decided to rework the bottom truss and make it taller and thinner.
Day 7 Physics Bridge Project
Today we finished the bottom part of the truss as evidenced by the picture above. Tomorrow are prsentations and on Monday we will reinforce the bottom.
Looks like a classic x design
The idea of an arch for the bottom of the bridge
The top of the bridge is finally done ! As seen by the pictures the trust has vertical horizontal and diagonal beams. The vertical connects to the deck. The horizontal connects the vertical trusses and the diagonls essentially provide more support. We as re blazing through this project and tomorrow is the support below the bridge !
Done with the top part…now onto the bottom truss
