you aren't really mistr bauer! thanks for making me look like an arse!

lol...nice work...never would have thought of that!

not the sharpest tool in the shed Mr. FluxCapacitor, as the title says, I'm not too bright when it comes to the application of physics...knowing this, would you mind telling me how you can make such a bridge as you described...thank you! love me

can anyone just tell me which idea is better? or tell me what will work better? thank you...

how long's a piece of string...? if i can compare it to string, a thick piece of string is strong, lots of little pieces of string are also strong. It comes down to which is stronger...like i said before, i think standing them up on their ends (canneloni) would be strong because there is...

i don't get your question? suppose you could stick lasange sheets together, but how is that relevant?

daym you're ruining my fun! glue and pasta tastes so good! :joke: actually, i suppose 'spaghetti' was 'false information' we can use anything we like, that's what my teacher said but the total mass can't go over 200g.

hey, the rules are as follows: 70cm long 200g heavy use anything to keep it together my preference: holds about 10-15 kgs (it can be done) spaghetti doesn't stretch or bend, cause it snaps, my dad thought of tube spaghetti (bucatini), one in the centre, and five round the outside...

thanks for that brewnog! lol and for ivan seeking, would you mind dumbing down what you said by about 10 fold cause I'm no that bright and struggle to get the intial concept. What u said kinda just messed with my head...sorry, Liv Nec Hostium Timete Nec Amicum Reusate

Another one of those holiday assignments we all love. would just like some genreal info on degenerative breaking... and why the electrical power that is generated is dissapated as heat into the resistors instead of being fed back into the electrical supply...? thank you! Liv nec...

Curious, i know you said resonance and i ended up basing my report on this topic becusae its at we're studying would you mind if i showed you my report, i'd just like to get your opinion on it...thanks liv

*just out of interest* one of the other topics you could choose was the zone of silence found in mexico...over a certain area there are no soundwaves at all, no radios, no walkie talkies, nothing to do with sound waves works...don't stress yourselves over it but if you know why or something...

Hey FredGarvin...another one for you... i asked my teacher, just to verify what you said and he said that it was right (THANKS) but also to look at resonance...you said earlier that it wasn't the cause...but I'm guessing it did have a part to play? wouldyou mind explaining some of it? thanks...

what do you mean bya "the wind caused a deflection"? and i understand that torsion is "twisting on the long axis" so I'm guessing that the torsional stiffness is when the bridge couldn't twist anymore than it already was...? and (sorry) is pressure build sefl-explanatory? cause I'm not quite...
