JI1014: STUDY THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HEIGHT OF AN OBJECT AND ITS STABILITY

PREESHALINI A/P RUBI INDRAN SEKOLAH JENIS KEBANGSAAN (TAMIL) RAWANG

This experiment investigates the relationship between an object's height and its stability by measuring the time taken for objects of varying heights to topple. Three objects (P, Q, R) with different heights were tested, with Object R (shortest) showing the longest toppling time due to its lower centre of gravity, enhancing stability. Controlled variables included base area, shape, and object type. Results demonstrated that shorter objects with lower centres of gravity are more stable, aligning with principles of weight distribution. The study highlights the importance of centre of gravity in determining structural stability, with practical implications for design and engineering.
