Principle #1: Build on a firm foundation
• Build on stable, solid ground
• Beware of climactic changes (melting, freezing, runoff water)
• Erosion

![Page 7: Principles of Stability. 1. Build on a firm foundation 2. Balance forces 3. Keep thrust lines vertical 4. Use rapid rotation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5514193b550346e7488b5438/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Principle #2: Balance forces
• Forces are balanced if they are...
• equal in size
• opposite in direction
• pointing along the same straight line
![Page 8: Principles of Stability. 1. Build on a firm foundation 2. Balance forces 3. Keep thrust lines vertical 4. Use rapid rotation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5514193b550346e7488b5438/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Balance Force: Counter Weights
• Mass that balances another mass
• Pulls in an opposite direction to a dangerous force
• Structure must withstand tension
![Page 9: Principles of Stability. 1. Build on a firm foundation 2. Balance forces 3. Keep thrust lines vertical 4. Use rapid rotation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5514193b550346e7488b5438/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Balance Force: Guy Wires
• Mass that balances another mass
• Pulls in an opposite direction to a dangerous force
• Structure must withstand tension

Principle #3: Keep thrust lines vertical
• Problem: Center of gravity is not directly over structure = pushes outward/inward on supports (ie: think table)
• Solution: distribute weight towards supports
• Keeping thrust lines vertical
![Page 12: Principles of Stability. 1. Build on a firm foundation 2. Balance forces 3. Keep thrust lines vertical 4. Use rapid rotation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5514193b550346e7488b5438/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Principle #3: Keep thrust lines vertical
Half-circle Arches
• distribute weight straight down
• cannot span a large space
![Page 14: Principles of Stability. 1. Build on a firm foundation 2. Balance forces 3. Keep thrust lines vertical 4. Use rapid rotation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5514193b550346e7488b5438/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Principle #3: Keep thrust lines vertical
Buttresses
• distribute weight straight down AND to the supporting buttresses
• can build bigger and heavier
![Page 15: Principles of Stability. 1. Build on a firm foundation 2. Balance forces 3. Keep thrust lines vertical 4. Use rapid rotation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5514193b550346e7488b5438/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Principle #3: Keep thrust lines vertical
Trusses
• arches with their ends tied together by a strong beam
• Outward force on beam is balanced by the inward tension force
![Page 16: Principles of Stability. 1. Build on a firm foundation 2. Balance forces 3. Keep thrust lines vertical 4. Use rapid rotation](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081414/5514193b550346e7488b5438/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Principle #4: Use rapid rotation
• The faster the spin the more stable
• If most of the mass of a wheel is located far from the center, the greater the stability
• Think...
• riding a bicycle
• football spiral

Experiment 1: Balancing Act
1. In groups of 2, gather materials (2 worksheets per person)
2. Roles
1. Subject - person doing experiment (balancing act)
1. ***on one foot*** (you can do both feet if it is too difficult)
2. Observer/Recorder - timer for each trial, records performance of subject
3. Switch
