am building a bridge for my class and need some help in the design of the bridgeHere is a list of the items I get:1.) 100 toothpicks2.) 200 feet of string3.) 25 feet of aluminum foil4.) 10 paper clips5.) 10 rubber bands6.) 1 Roll of Scotch Tape7.) Pair of scissors8.) 12quot; ruler9.) hole punch10.) 10 pieces of construction paper11.) 10 note cardsThe bridge has to span 5 feet and hold approximately 100 pounds on top of the bridgeI only get 30 minutes to build this bridge in class alsoI will have 7 people helping me.Also, what is the best design in case the weight is hanging from the bottom instead?Please help.
They had a bunch of them that were fixed for different purposesOne for jumps one for quick turns, one for closeups, etcThey also trashed a bunch doing stunts.
No glue, so the toothpicks are probably uselessRoll the construction paper into tubes about 1 in diameter and tape them Roll the note cards into tubes to be connectors for the paper tubes, let them expand inside the tubes and tack to one tube with tape Fit the tubes together into two identical long tubes over 5 feet long (assuming the paper is big enough) Pull out a sheet of aluminum foil as long as the tubes and roll both tubes side by side snuggly in the foil, taping it firmlyRepeat Shape the tubes into a long arch across the 5 feet against the foundations you better have been given Use the string to add guy wires to stabilize the structure Added complication - mount the paper tubes so the meet in the center, but the ends are spread a few inches, then wrap with foil - if it works, more stable, harder to build.
