Defying Gravity Using Jenga[TM] Blocks
Tan, Yin-Soo; Yap, Kueh-Chin
Physics Education, v42 n6 p607-611 Nov 2007
This paper describes how Jenga[TM] blocks can be used to demonstrate the physics of an overhanging tower that appears to defy gravity. We also propose ideas for how this demonstration can be adapted for the A-level physics curriculum. (Contains 8 figures and 1 table.)
