Questions for Discussion: Investigating a Suspension Bridge
Why can a suspension bridge hold more weight than a beam bridge? Draw a diagram of the bridge: include the two chairs, rope, string, cardboard, books, and ZOOM cast members. Label the parts of the bridge that are pulling on the strings. Label the parts of the bridge that are pulling on the ropes. Label the parts of the bridge that are pushing on the chairs. Which parts of the bridge did the ZOOM cast change once the platform was six feet long?
