    3-073-EarthQuakePartII-ModelingScenario
    Your goal here is to determine how much friction/damping should be designed into a building to keep the roof from moving too far (which would result in the entire building collapsing) when it undergoes minor vibrations from a small earthquake.

    This modeling scenario considers a one-story building as a simple structure; the roof is modeled as a single point mass. Movement of the roof can be modeled similar to a mass-spring system.

    We pose the prospect of modeling just how long an ant takes to build a tunnel. With a bit of guidance students produce a model for the time it takes to build a tunnel of length x into the side of a damp sandy hill.
