Balance beam

that branched over the deepest and thickest part of the crossing, so I grabbed the tree and monkey gripped across this section without getting almost any mud on me! The course continued on for a short distance on muddy trail and came to “Speed Trap”, which was a water pit racers had to swim/walk through. This obstacle was a lot more water than mud and wasn’t near as a hard challenge as the previous sections of the course. After another brief trail sprint, the next obstacle was “Beam Me Up”, which was a 14-foot wall. Even early on, this obstacle was already getting covered with a good amount of mud, so I suspect as the waves and day continued it beautiful a more challenging obstacle. A very short distance later was the next obstacle “The Gauntlet”, which is crossing a larger balance type beam that does have a fair amount of shake in it and avoid large swinging bags. This can be an evil obstacle, because racers to your left and right could smash into their large bags so hard that they come over to your beam and knock you off and into the water! After another brief sprint was the next obstacle “Leap of Faith”, which was jumping from a very short height into water. I have to be honest, the jump is so short, and this obstacle should be called the “Skip of Faith”. On Saturday morning I dived in to the water on this one, but on Sunday they had a huge written warning that said “NO DIVING”, so I didn’t get to dive the second day ! The course at this point continued on what is a…

“She just sits there, staring at the wall. Sometimes she blinks and awareness flickers in her eyes as she sits up, but then it disappears and she sinks back into her corner.” “What does she do all day?” “Strokes a scrap of velvet. Screams, Cries. Thinks. Stares.” “What does she think about?” “Let’s ask her, if you’re so interested.” The two men walk into Jenna’s room, where she sits huddled in the corner, rocking back and forth. “Jenna, what do you think about all day?” She looks up at him, sad…

Reporter stated the following: Jazzlyn reported to her teacher (Karly Richardson) that she got in trouble at home. She has a bruise on her leg and arm. She was limping. The teacher ask her was she ok and then she reported. I talked to the student she said her Uncle Bubbler who is her mother’s brother came to her house on yesterday. Uncle Bubbler lives in Mosspoint. She does not know Uncle Bubbler real name. Yesterday evening while her mom was at Bingo she said she got in trouble by Uncle…

Bridges are used around the world to get over a bay of water. There are several different designs that could be used when building bridges such as arc, beam , cable-stayed, truss and suspension bridges. The Golden Gate Bridge is a very well known example of a suspension bridge. It is located in San Francisco, California. Construction began in 1933, in the midst of the Great Depression, and the bridge gave steady jobs to many people during this hard time. It was finished and opened in 1937,…

construction, which reduced the cost (Ward, slides 3 and 5). The design (see Appendix 2, Page 2) was originally created to span across the widest section of river, about 12 in.s. The design optimization process (see Appendix 2, Page 3) revealed that the most optimum distance (traffic score) was 8.422415 in., would cost $137.5625 (see Appendix 2, Page 4), as well as earn a safety and aesthetic score of 0.043432 and 6.878127 respectively. These calculations were used to help redesign the best…

1.0 Introduction A wire is defined as a single, flexible strand or rod of metal which is typically cylindrically-shaped. The core applications of wire, both single- or multi-stranded wire, are to withstand or carry mechanical loads in construction sector, whereas in electrical and electronic field are used to transmit electricity and telecommunications signals. For examples, from view of construction, wires are either braided or fixated together to form a bundle of strands, namely…

On November 7th, 1940, the Tacoma Bridge collapsed into the Tacoma Narrows straight in Washington State. The bridge connected the town of Tacoma and the Kitsap Peninsula, and was one of the first major suspension bridges in the western United States. Unlike other suspension bridges constructed around this time, the Tacoma Bridge failed to withstand wind speeds over 40 miles per hour, due to unequal stress on parts of the bridge. The construction of a suspension bridge must include geometric…

The overall objective of this lab was to verify Bernoulli-Euler beam theory for the lip-loaded cantilever and use that to calculate the Poisson ratio for the material in this case 6061-T6 aluminum. This was done by having to different objectives for each part of the Lab. Part one was use electrical resistance strain gage, this was to measure the strain a cantilever beam as it undergoes a known deflection. We would then compare the measurements with that of the strains predicted by simple beam…

design project was conducted to construct a new wing beam design for the B-52 bomber and to compose an analysis of the new main wing spar. Given the information and the requirements that must be met with this design, our team went through the steps of the design process to come up with 3 concept variants. Of the 3 variants, we recommend to the Air Staff that the beam is to be made out of Steel SAE 4340 and configured into the T-beam shape in order to optimize each requirement for the wing beam…
