Help Needed: Physics Project Due Soon - Construct House from Poster Boards

AI Thread Summary
A physics project requires constructing a house from two poster boards measuring 36" x 24" and 1cm thick, due in a week. The project encourages creativity, emphasizing that there is no single best approach to design. Essential components of the house include a floor, walls, ceiling, a door, and windows. Participants are advised to clarify the assignment's exact wording for better guidance. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the project requirements while fostering innovative thinking.

I really need help for this physics project I'm doing that's due in a week or so. I need to construct a house out of two poster boards that is about 1cm thick, and 36" x 24". I can tell you guys the rest of the info, tomorow.

Thanks guys I'd appreciate it.

If you're just stating that for some reason: Have fun with it!
If you're asking the best way to do it: There is no best way, be creative and try to figure something out in your mind, then put it into practice.
 
I don't know how to even start.
 
What's necessary for a house? Floor, walls, ceiling. Heck a door and some windows if you're really artsy. So what would be the next question in designing a house? How do you make a floor, walls, and ceiling? That's the question you need to ask yourself. Once again, there is no right way to do it...
 
Welcome to PF, Jj.
As you know from the guidelines that you agreed to, we won't tell you how to do something in an educational environment (ie: homework), but will assist with your attempt to understand what is needed.
To that end, it would be very helpful if you could convey to us the exact wording of the assignment. To me, a house involves something more substantial than poster boards and has to be large enough to actually live in (not to mention indoor plumbing).
 
Danger clear your message history, it's full.

Any others?
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
