Question

hi ppl...any of you did problem 4 tee structure for OM? if you did, i really need some advice on how to do it. how did your grp do it? THOSE WHO DIDNT can you think how i should build a structure made out of balsa wood that only can be 15grams, 20.3 cm in height...yet must hold ten golf balls and about 60kg weights? thanks and pls help!

Answer 1

I did not do the problem, but generally the strongrest structure to support a heavy weight will be triangles.  Use your balsa wood to make triangles under the platform instead of just straight legs like a table might have.
