Today, Mr. Rink and I decided what our project would be. The classic physics project, a trebuchet, flung itself into our minds. We studied the previous miniature scaled models of past physics greats and decided to begin designing. We created a mock-up on paper, estimating what our dimensions should be.
Our current plans:
Height: 13 inches (1 foot plus one inch on base)
Base length: 20 inches
Base width: 8 inches
Support bar length: 14.21 inches
Arm 1 length: 15 inches
Arm 2 length: 4 inches
Weight in basket: tbd
Length of string: 8 inches
Width of channel: 2 inches
