Discuss the Forces in action in these pictures

Scientists are interested in measuring and comparing Forces in all sorts of situations eg.

In fabrics used in sports and other clothing.

In materials which need to grip on different surfaces.

In magnetic materials which have all sorts of uses including cranes and medical scanners.

In structures which support heavy loads such as bridges or the stands in a stadium.

Science Investigations

Friction

1. How many times greater is the grip on one side of the block compared to the other?

2. Which type of floor covering is the safest for use in a bathroom or kitchen?

Stretching

Which type of cloth (coloured elastic bands) is best for use in making cycling shorts?

Magnetism

Which pair of magnets is the strongest?

Strength

How strong is a paper tube?
