Real Life LAB

On Friday after we finished the rod lab, I hung out in the room to kill the remaining 10 minutes of class. I mean how much homework could I have significantly done in 10 minutes. I started trying to do the ruler lab with the foo rulers, but realised eventually that the non-flatness of the rulers prevented them from stacking perfectly. I then turned my attention to the meter sticks. No one was using them so I grabbed the three that were out and the remaining nine to attempt the lab in real life. AS I started balancing the rulers, each bottom one meeting midway of the top weight, i eventually realised that this was going to be epic! I started having the distance, but soon reached the point where the rulers couldn't be aligned up perfectly with the half, so I did what every good physicist does. I eyeballed it. When I finally stacked up the ten rulers to the utmost balance, I started pushing the bottom ruler out slowly. A centimeter and a time. After several minutes, I reached the gold metal part of the ruler and couldn't push it forward anymore without risking tipping over my beautiful tower of rulers. So there stands my creation extending at 172cm off away from the table!
