Geometry genius designs 4-legged cafe table that never rocks

AI Thread Summary
A geometry genius has designed a four-legged café table that remains stable and never rocks, which has sparked interest in its potential for widespread use. The innovative design addresses a common issue in furniture stability, prompting suggestions for making such tables compulsory in cafes. Users can also try a simple trick of rotating the table up to a quarter turn to mitigate rocking until these designs become mainstream. The conversation hints at the possibility of creating matching non-rocking chairs to complement the table. This design could significantly enhance the dining experience in various settings.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
