    Engineering Challenge: Create a Balsa Wood Structure to Hold 3 15lbs. Weights!

    Uh, there is one problem, it has to be at least 25 inches tall but it can be anything above 25"" but it has to be at least 25 inches tall.

    Yes they can sit on top of each other, also the entire thing has to have a width of 8""

    Engineering Challenge: Create a Balsa Wood Structure to Hold 3 15lbs. Weights!

    Well I can't show you my attempts but I can tell you that I tried on a practice run making a base and trying to balance a test book on the balsa wood but it did not work to well... Oh ya, and I can ONLY use the glue given to me and the wood as well, no extra stuff.

    I don't have any ideas and I haven't even started yet? so i am open to anything just as long as it is within the rules I said

    Engineering Challenge: Create a Balsa Wood Structure to Hold 3 15lbs. Weights!

    In my engineering class, we were told to create a structure out of balsa wood (1/8"x1/8") and glue. The structure has to suport the weight of 3 15lbs. weights (donut shape). We are only give 72" of balsa wood, and the structure must hold the 3 15lbs. weights for 1min. Sorry I am new to this...
