Tension

Our bridge was built correctly, because it failed when the middle bar broke. There was the most tension here, which was consistent with the bridge plan.

Weighing the sand our bridge could hold. The bridge supported 5536 grams of sand and bucket weight. Divided by the bridge's weight, the efficiency came to 361.8.

We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Bridge building, day 4

Today we had to replace some tubes due to a cutting mishap. We were able to redo them quickly and we then moved onto gluing the trusses. We tried to pull the 2 mm strips taught for as much tension as possible. The trusses seem a bit wobbly, but will hopefully be steadied when the entire bridge has been put together.
