Distribution of Force
This shape makes paper stronger by spreading out the force.
What is a column?
This property shows how much a shape can resist bending.
What is moment of inertia?
The SI unit of force
What is a newton?
Columns are used in this field to support buildings.
What is architecture?
This equation tells us the weight of an object.
What is \( W = mg \)?
This type of force makes flat paper bend easily.
What is uneven force?
Rolling paper into this shape helps it resist bending.
What is a column?
A measuring tool for force.
What is a spring balance?
This everyday item uses a cylinder shape to stay strong.
What is a soda can?
For something to stay stable, the total force must be this.
What is zero?
These shapes are made by folding paper to make it stronger.
What are arches?
Folding paper into ridges helps it resist bending better.
What is corrugation?
This formula explains the inverse proportionality between pressure and area.
What is P=F/A?
This type of cardboard is strong because it has ridges.
What is corrugated cardboard?
This part of a bridge keeps it stable.
What are the supports?
Folding paper like this prevents it from bending easily
What is corrugation?
The folds in corrugated paper act like these, helping it stay strong.
What are mini-beams?
This force slows a moving object.
What is friction?
These sheets are used in buildings because they are strong and have ridges.
What are corrugated metal sheets?
If an object weighs 0.4 kg, its weight in Newtons is this.
What is 4 Newtons?
In a column, the force is spread out this way.
What is evenly?
This property helps a column resist bending better.
What is moment of inertia?
A kind of surface that creates the most friction.
What are rough surfaces?
Making paper into this shape makes it much stronger.
What is a corrugated structure?
When all forces on an object are balanced, it is in this state.
What is equilibrium?
