1. It was very close to 100mm but seeing as we were using a standard ruler for measurememnt it could have been off by 1 mm, but this probably isn't what is causing the huge difference between what I recorded and what I calculated. 2. At the time of testing we didnt measure this. It was the...

Sorry the 2.25 Newton value is correct, the .9 one is not. I am have a spreadsheet of data with forces for 25 different lengths and 4 different types of spghetti so it gets a little confusing. Basically we went into the lab and tested the buckling load of 4 different types of spaghetti (4...

Yes I've checked a million times. Are you saying I should plug in the 5 GPA Youngs Modulus value into the equation as 5*10^9 instead of just 5? I've done that too, and I still don't get the right Force values. Can anyone verify that I am using the correct equation for this? I've seen...

For an Intro engineering class we've working on a project to make bridges out of spaghetti. To determine if the different spaghetti components of my bridge are strong enough to hold the force that's being applied on them, I've been trying to calculate the spaghetti's critical buckling load for...
