Calculating the tension in the wires for a floating LEGO (tensegrity) table.

- Suppose the top (floating part) has a mass of 250 grams (with the book) and a center of mass as shown below. What is the tension in the middle support wire? Assume there is only one wire on the left (really there are two - but I’m trying to make it simpler). Find the tension AND direction for the two wires.
Bonus - here is how to build your own LEGO floating table

This was great !
can u help me to find its centeroid or equilibrium?
so nice!!!!
Saludos ,Buen video ,me gustaria saber si tienes algun material que explique o sabes como puedo diseñar la estructura de la tensegridad de palitos de madera o de MADERA basa,para que aguante unos valores especificos,es decir yo poder calcular que tipo de estructura me aguantaria 3kg,que dimensiones y forma debe tener,de que depende y eso,gracias anticipadas.
hey hope you see this!
how can you calculate how ,much weight can the top shelf (floating) hold based on the boards and strings properties?
i really appreciate if you answer here or even make a video about it :)
thanks in advance
There are two things you would need to calculate (one is easy and one is not). First, you could calculate the tension in the wires - just like I did here. Then you could compare that to the maximum tension in your table to see if the wires will hold it up.
The other calculation has to do with the structural integrity of the material - in this case my LEGO. That one part that sticks down has to support a very large force - you can calculate that force since it's the same as the tension in the middle wire, but it's difficult to determine if it will break or not.
Hello, I am a fifth grader looking for some science fair project ideas using tensegrity. Could you share some ideas?
How do you know the center of mass is 3 cm from the point o ?
Because science
It’s actually on the paper if you look closely
