  1. 1) Is your building more or less stable when the mass is placed on higher floors?

    I think your building was less stable when the mass is placed on higher floors.

    2) Describe how the centre of gravity moves as the 100-g mass moves up each floor.

    I describe how the centre of gravity moves as the 100-g mass moves up each floor it is not always in the centre on the scond floor it was closer to the edge more then closer to the center.

    3) After you moved the 100-g mass closer to the edge of each floor rather than in the middle what differences did you notice in the stability of the building.

    After moving the 100-g mass closer to the edge it was starting to fall over.

    4) What changes could you make to your design that would make the building more stable when the centre of mass is high or near the edge of a floor?

    I would make it more stable by puting staws underneath the scond and thrid floor

  2. 1 Sam's and my building starts stable but when we placed the weight higher and higher the building gets a bit more unstable but it still stands.

    2 The centre of gravity moves a bit when Sam and me moved the 100-g up each of the 3 floors,there for that mad the building tip a bit to go to the left\right.

    3 When we moved the 100-g mass to the edge there was a slit movement then when we put the 100-g mass in the middle.

    4 The changes that we could of made is when the 100-g mass was on the edge we could have not make holes at the edge, we should of just stick the supporters right in there.
