Egg Drop Student Worksheet
Use this worksheet to design your device and record your data. You can then use this form to help you
write your lab report. Height of egg drop: ____5 ft.______.
Ideas for Prototype Design:
Protect the egg with all the material provided to prevent any cracking.
Preliminary Sketches
(attach separate paper if needed) Option A:
Advantages:
Protection of egg
Disadvantages:
Egg will probably crack from the material used
Which of the three designs will you move forward with? Explain your reasoning for selecting this design.
Moving forward I decided to just utilize materials for only one device and the egg still cracked.
Building the
Prototype
What modifications, if any, did you make to the basic design during the construction process?
I made very few modifications where I was able to protect the egg from fully breaking where it just
slightly cracked instead.
Predictions
Will your device prevent the egg from cracking upon impact with the ground? How will your device do
this?
My device did not prevent the egg from cracking.
Will your device increase the time it takes for the egg to impact the ground? How will your device do
this?
There was no increase to the eggs impact to the ground, this only took about 3 seconds.
Observations
Record your observations and the results of the experimental tests of your device below.
From my observations the egg and the height of the drop made it have a disadvantage where the egg
cracked.
Evaluating Your Prototype
What worked well?
Wrapping the egg with he materials worked very well.
Which features can be improved upon?
The feature that could have worked better for the egg was maybe creating a float with the bag creating
the illusion of a parachute.
Suggestions
How could the design of this device be improved?
The design could be improved by creating different scenarios drop locations.
Why would this change be an improvement? What impulse or momentum principle is this improvement
based on?
The change is based on the attempts to achieve for the egg not to crack.
Sketch of Final Design
Draw a well-labeled sketch of the final design.

Mechanical Advantage Review
Directions: Use the appropriate equation to answer the following questions. All answers
should be recorded below or in your engineering design journal. Remember to show all work.
1. A lever has an effort arm that is 8 meters long and the resistance (load) arm that is
5 meters long, how much effort is needed to lift a 200 Newton weight?

hints:
The flask will be filled with water (at a constant rate of 500 gallons per minute).
It will take me exactly 10 minutes to escape from the chains.
The diameter of the tank at 1 foot intervals.
I am 5 feet 9 inches tall, and I'm pretty skinny so that you can ignore both my volume and the volume of the stool in your analysis.
A gallon is equal to 0.13368 cubic feet.
You can think of the volume and the height of the water as functions of time. You can easily find an expression for V (t), and then use your expression for volume in terms of height to solve for h(t).
after 10 minutes amount of water in the tank=66.84 ft3
t=69.3 minutes
h(t)=e66.84t/100? -1
h(10)=e66.84(10)/100? -1=7.39 ft
Height of stool=1.64 ft
Height of water in the tank=7.39 ft
Questions: show work
How fast is the water rising?
I would like to know how long I will have to hold my breath during the last part of the stunt.

Question 2
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the…

Case Study: Paula’s Pain
Paula has worked for Brindle Corporation for 3 years. During this time, she has worked as a machine operator/cell leader in various work cells. Recently, the plant went to mandatory 12-hour shifts and plans to remain on this schedule for several months.
Paula’s present work cell is manufacturing 3-inch diameter exhaust tubes that are made from stainless steel. These tubes get a hole punched in them, a flange welded on, and burrs ground off. The pipe then gets placed into a gage to check that it was made correctly. (The tubes weigh about six pounds.)
Paula has been performing the welding operation. She leans into the machine and loads the part into a fixture then positions the flange. Both pieces are clamped (using hand clamps) into position and the machine is cycled by depressing two palm buttons.
The gaging operation requires placing the finished part into the gage and clamping it (using hand clamps) into place. A pin is depressed to verify the position…

Part 2
Set up a spreadsheet solution to this problem. This will require that you derive one
formula to express the relationship between the friction coefficient, the spring constant,
and the spring compression; and a second formula to find the cost of using different slide
and spring types. Set up your spreadsheet as shown below. You can fill in the
"Acceptable?" column manually, rather than using a formula. Turn in a copy of your
spreadsheet/Matlab work

Case Study – The New Engineer
Jeff was just hired by GSI, Inc. to be their Environmental and Safety Coordinator. This is Jeff's first position after completing his engineering degree. He had taken a course in safety engineering as part of his studies and felt confident that he could handle the job.
Management at GSI, Inc. has assured him that they are committed to maintaining a safe workplace. They have never had an individual dedicated to this task full-time. They will implement his recommendations if he can justify them.
As Jeff begins to get familiar with the operations, he spends considerable time on the production floor. He notices workers clean their tools before break with a liquid from an unmarked 55-gallon drum. They also use this liquid to clean residue from their skin. They use paper towels to dry their tools and hands, throw these towels in the trash, and head to the break room for a snack and/or smoke.
