bar with cello string, pulley and clamp | 202-06-D |
30 lb weight | 202-04-E |
weight hanger and weights | 202-04-E |
large right angle clamps | 202-01-E2 |
cello bow | 202-06-D |
Thus the total force exerted by
strings
on bridge (and consequently by bridge on cello) is less than 120 lbs.
For
maximum impact should be followed by second demonstration in which 120
lb person stands on cello, causing its collapse.
