DSMT Platform – Benchmarking
November 22nd, 2005
Today, we were to test our platforms to the load of 100N. Our platform being one of the lightest was near to last to be tested. A lot of tension was in the air, having seen some decent designs fail before us we were a little apprehensive about testing ours.
Obviously, no comiserations were needed for the DSMT platform; it clearly stood robust to the load, despite the fact the applied load was practically 650 times its own mass.
I have compiled a little clip for your pleasure. Enjoy!

I should have said, the load had to be applied in 3 stages: Firstly at 30N then at 60N and then to 100N, this would explain why Rob is leaning back for the Lecturer to see.

100N? are you measuring in neils?!

100N = 100 Newtons = 10 Kilograms
