In this set of experimental models, we utilized objects found in the kitchen to explore the equilibrium of solid masses supported by compressive and tensile forces. More specifically, we tied our tensile element, butcher's twine, to carrots under compression, and in turn formed a tripod to hold up loads of various weights. During the testing phase, we experimented with four carrots at first.
