Describe the purpose of the project with writing something similar to it but without plagiarism. it is to take ideas. (Write a brief)
The aim of this project was to build a stable bridge structure that can lift a 1-Kg of mass while acknowledging the physical concepts of the bridge at its stable state. In this project we use the PASCO structure set to build our bridge, which includes five different beam sizes, half circle connectors, adjusting cords, and screws. There were some calculations that had been done before we started on building the bridge in order for us to have a stable structure. Newton’s second law was used in the calculations. The external forces, internal forces and maximum load were then calculated for all of the three cases using the physical concepts that we learned from the beginning of this semester till now. First case was with no load, the second case was with load on A, and the third case was with load on B. Also, we drew a free body diagram to analyze our calculated data and the forces acting on it.
Our bridge has four spans, and the calculation was then discussed with the instructor. There were some mistakes with our calculation, so we did some adjustment till we got the instructor’s approval in building the bridge. Once done, we experimented with the stability of the bridge while it lifted the 1-Kg mass.
