I Need To Build a Bridge From Newspaper, and 18"of tape. Able to Hold 12lbs. of Books. Help?
I have a teacher that cares very little about the class he is teaching (that I'm in), and for a final he says that we have to construct a bridge from a full paper (1) and 18" of tape. It must be 16" from posts to posts (at least), 9" wide, and 12" tall. No supports are allowed at centre, just at the ends. How can I contruct the center piece for this, or the whole thing? The ends are strong, I have a triagle shape pillar Idea, and it will hold the books on the end, but they have to sit in the center. It's the semester final, so my grade depends on this ridiculous bridge. Any Ideas for the center, or anything that can hold 12lbs? Thanks for reading. (Tubes haven't been strong enough usually!)
i dont know much about bridges..

SUGGESTION: make a Truss bridge.. one of the strongest type of bridge. Simple because the truss evenly distributes the weight out evenly
