This is for an engineering class. The tower cannot have any supports and must extend horizontally over 7 feet without touching the floor. It can bend. It is also going to be extended from a 1.5 inch plastic tube. Please answer ASAP! Need answer before 11/28/07. Thanks
Sounds like you're describing a cantilever. Not so much a tower as a section of a bridge, yes?
You need to provide a sketch of some kind. Cannot visualize your problem.
