-one meter of masking tape

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

1. Height of structure shall be at least 5.0 cm, supporting the object being weighed. All parts of the object should be supported at least 5.0 cm above the table

2. The structure shall use all or part of the 20 pieces of fettucini and all or part of the 1 m of masking tape. NO ADDITIONAL TAPE OR PASTA MAY BE USED. (If you cheat, your grade = 0)

3. The tape may not be used to do anything other than to support the structure. The structure must be one unit that can be picked up and placed on the testing area. Overlapping non-taped pieces of fettucini are not allowed. No columns or "log cabin" structures are allowed.

PROCEDURE

1. Design and build a support structure according to the design requirements.

2. Measure and record the mass of the structure. Measure and record the masses of the objects to be tested.
