Question

what is engineering? tips for success • read the assignment carefully and make sure you answer each part of the question or questions. • after youve written your response, go back and read it again to make sure your thoughts are clear. your assignment suppose you need to design a parachute system to help a remote camera land safely at the bottom of a cave. the camera will drop from a height of one story. it has a mass of about 500 g. a carton of eggs inside a box will model the camera. for your test to be successful, none of the eggs can break when the box lands. you may use string, plastic bags, paper, and any fabrics you have to make a model parachute. 1a. identify the criteria and constraints.

Explanation:

Criteria are the requirements for a successful design. Here, it's that no eggs break. Constraints are limitations. Materials available (string, plastic bags, paper, fabrics) and the height from which camera drops (one - story) and its mass (500 g) are constraints.

Answer:

Criteria: No eggs break when box lands.
Constraints: Available materials (string, plastic bags, paper, fabrics), height of one - story drop, camera mass of 500 g.
