the
Strength of a Cylinder
Need:Notebook paper
Tape
Book
Procedure:
1. Roll the paper on its short side into a cylinder. Tape it.
2. Stand the cylinder upright.
3. Place a book on top of the cylinder.
The shape of a structure affects its strength. A piece of paper is not a strong material. However, when it is rolled into a cylinder it becomes stronger and the weight of the book is spread throughout the structure.
