We had to construct a model of a bridge using only newspaper and glue. Our testing was yesterday. It was successful. Our hard work paid off. Our bridge weighed 2.25kg. It had to first support 1kg of weights. Then we had to put weights on it till our bridge deflected by 6.5mm. It took 28.8kg to do so to our bridge. Then came the fun part. We had to put loads on our bridge till it breaks. We tried putting weights on it but we couldn’t fit everything on. We put quite a bit already but it was still standing well… so we took turns standing on it… Haha… I went first being the lightest… After all my group mates went on, it was still intact so we went 2 by 2. I stood on it with Brian and nothing happened. We kept on increasing the load till it was about 138kg when one of the cables finally snapped.
That was one of the fun labs.
Another was our momentum lab last week. All of us seriously got WET!!! We had to measure the flowrate of water using different connections. WET WET WET!! Haha. We were all having fun doing the lab. Only the calculations were a headache.
Just had 2 tests today… Computing and Electrical. Computing was fine. Electrical was a killer. Oh well.
Looks like i’m going into Electrical. I know everyone says it’s really tough and i know it is. I’m not 100% sure i love it but i’m willing to try. My parents are quite set with me doing Electrical. I really hope i pass Electrical this semester. If not, i’ll be doing Mechanical. Only time will tell.
There’s one week break next week. Our long awaited break!! Am supposed to go to Mid-Valley with darling Sue…
Can’t wait to take a little break from lectures but there’s lots to do for this break… Momentum project, Structure project, study for Electrical, Computing, Momentum, and Structure… Doesn’t sound like a break anymore… Haha…
Kah Ming’s farewell tomorrow!! He’s leaving on Fri!! ~Snifff~ I’m so going to miss him. *Sigh* Oh well, can’t stop him for going… Haha…
I guess that’s it… I better go off now… Got to start doing my Problem Sets for Momentum which i have been neglecting… Then to bed i go!!
