The Bed of Nails

This class Always has something exciting going on

This is the experiment demonstrating pressure and surface area at work. With many nails the force applied by the hammer is distributed evenly between all the points of the nails thus lessening each nails individual pressure.

The stump absorbs more force with its great inertai. It doesnt want to move into his body, therefore it wont move.

The ice, it absorbs energy

I apologize for the shaky camera work. I was hit by a falling piece of Ice.
