Report About Skyscrape

Basically, our design was based on a triangular pyramid.
A triangle is the strongest shape after a circle so then a pyramid should be stronger than a prism.
So we created something of a pyramid using the floor and 3 supports made of rolled newspaper.
This is to retain the shape of the pyramid and make sure it stays upright for balance.
physics we used in this paper tower is, firtst, the vector. To make it straight up, we want the force to point straight up or down.The three supporters are like vectors. When they add together, they just form a vector points vertically. so the addition of every vectors in the paper tower should be zero otherwise the tower may not stand because the force makes the movement. Secondly, the physics stuff we used is the interacting forces. The supporters give force to the top of tower.The top of the tower has gravity. Those two kinds of force cancel out finally. The interacting forces will cancel out at last.

This one like a lteer A. A cute A
The Gherkin claims to look like a pickle but if you squint really hard (not that hard actually), you’ll see something a bit less salty. Erected to replace the bombed Baltic Exchange building, the 590.6 ft (180m) woody makes a nice focal point of London’s financial district. Maybe a few green windows would help convey the pickle idea but for now, congrats London, you’ve got a big man member thrusting through your skyline.

This one named NORMAN FOSTER GHERKIN, LONDON
