Physics physics physics!

<p>Have you ever done the egg drop exp. in physics where you can only use glue and toothpicks?! ....anyway how does an egg drop exp. show the concepts of rotational forces and torque? Ideas? Ideas? Ideas? Ideas?! thanks :)</p>

<p>I have no idea, come to think of it. what are you suppose to do? I'm curious.</p>

<p>...suppose to build a design using toothpicks and glue to put egg in and drop from 2nd floor balcony....3x fail drops u a letter grade.....then explain the exp. using newton's impulse equation which isn't hard but then you have to illustrate the concepts of rotational forces and torque....i'm attempting to build a "walls" around the egg and then a bunch of trusses to lengthen the time of impact and therefore minimize the force......what #$%^ do i write about torque! lol</p>
