Lecture

Play-dough Rod Stability: Experimental Study and Theoretical Analysis

Description

This lecture presents an experimental study on Play-Doh rod stability, aiming to determine the maximum height a rod can reach before collapsing. The instructor explains the process of creating cylindrical rods, measuring their dimensions, and observing equilibrium or collapse. The project also involves studying strains, stresses, and developing a theoretical law to predict the maximum height based on the rod's diameter.
