Real life physics problem. Message-ID: <773@charm.UUCP> Date: Thu, 31-Oct-85 17:12:23 EST Article-I.D.: charm.773 Posted: Thu Oct 31 17:12:23 1985 Date-Received: Sat, 2-Nov-85 03:30:43 EST Organization: Physics Research @ AT&T Bell Labs Murray Hill NJ Lines: 19 I have a small physics problem for all you net.physics.pudits out there. I have an assignment to drop a brick and an egg in a shoebox out of a two story window onto a sidewalk. The egg must not break (of course), and I can put whatever I want into the box. I have had several suggestions, most of which consist of surrounding the egg with some sort of rubbery substance, like jello or epoxy glue, unfortunatly a shoe box full of expensive glue is a bit above my budget, and jello would melt into water before I could get to class. HELP! Post to the net, or mail to me, I don't know these things.
