| Abstract |
This paper considers the stone towers that have recently attracted attention at that, at first
glance, seem impossible. It is shown that a body with three points of support (tripod) on an uneven
surface, such as, in particular, an inclined plane, can serve as the base model of such a system. The
necessary and sufficient equilibrium conditions are obtained of such towers. Estimates of the coefficient of friction for the supports that would ensure the equilibrium in case of ground vibration and
wind are determined. |
