I am really confused about this assignment. It is for the way our team planned to save the egg or for my own future plan?
Let me start with the class activity.
The main objecctive of the class activity was to save the egg while it was dropped from a height of 10 feet. To be honest, i was more interested in getting the five extra points rather than saving the egg which was impossible with out saving it. We really had limited resources eight straw, a tape about five feet, a scissior to be shared with 80 other class fellows, half the egg was to be visible and under pressure of time. We did not had much strategies because it was small activity. However, we were positive that we will be sucessful in acheving our goal to save the egg. Some suggested that the short person should go because it will reduce the height of the fall and will reduce the gravitaional pull and will help to some extent to save because force = mass of the object * Accleration and accleration depends upon height. So we agreed upon to proceed scientifically which was a good explanation. Most of our group members were tall so we decided to let the shortest person to do drop the egg. Divyam was selected finally. The biggest challenge was the design. With limited resources, we had to design to save the egg. Some suggested to make several triangles that can hold the egg. Other suggested to make a strong base which can absorve the force to save the egg. But, the question was what about if the egg tilt. We don't know where the Yolk of the egg is. It might fall towards the yolk because it is the heaviner than the albumen. So we decided to save the egg equallyt on all the sides. We made plans and accordingly, i cut the straws to give support to the egg. Two of us were responsible to get the scissor first and give it to me to cut the straws. We worked accordingly and completed the task. There was ahuge issue that we have coverd more than 50% of the egg. However, we modified and the entire class was convinced eventually. We drop the first time it didn't break. My class buddies claimed that the professor didn't see it and were asked todrop the second time and we were not lucky this time.
Tomorrow never comes. So, the thing you have to do tomorrow do it today, and the things you have to do it today do it now and get your work completed and be ahead in your Goal. Who know Future??????
