I am in 11th grade Honors Physics and we have to build a full size chair out of newpaper and masking tape...the only advice given by our teacher was to think about bridges...and I am lost on this one..can anyone give me some advice?? All help is greatly appreciated! thanksTo build a full size chair out of newspaper and masking tape, you will need several sheets of newspaper, a roll of masking tape, and scissors. Optional materials include cardboard or a cardboard tube for added support.
The first step is to gather your materials and lay out several sheets of newspaper on the ground. Then, begin rolling the newspaper tightly to form the legs and backrest of the chair. Secure the rolls with masking tape.
To make the chair more stable, you can use additional layers of newspaper and tape to reinforce the structure. You can also add cardboard or a cardboard tube as a frame for added support.
Yes, you can sit on the chair once it is built. However, keep in mind that it is made of newspaper and masking tape, so it may not be as sturdy as a traditional chair. It is best to use the chair for short periods of time and avoid putting too much weight on it.
The durability of the chair will depend on the amount of tape used and the weight and activity of the person sitting in it. On average, the chair can last for a few days to a week before it may need to be repaired or rebuilt.
