My throne from the evening all the way to the early morning every day. We got it around the start of the school year, but it's already dying. Poor thing...Anyway...
Side note: I told you guys my books won't survive the year. One of my english books died. The one that we're currently using for the next couple of weeks T_T. And I now have a week to read Mayor of Casterbridge. I'm not even 1/4 done. :D:D:D
The chair has many concepts of physics. The coefficient of friction between its wheels and the carpet causes me to exert more effort to move, while if I were to randomly push myself to the tiled kitchen (a convenient 10 feet away), I'd have to be slightly more careful in my movements since friction would be less. If it wasn't for the five legs, the chair would be in a very unstable equilibrium (the center of mass being above the points of support), causing much stress to me whenever I am to shift my weight. Pretty sure I wouldn't buy a chair like that, especially if I'm going to have to sit in it for multiple hours of the night. There's uniform circular motion in the wheels and the chair (which is why I called it spinny). The force allowing them to stay in their path is friction directed radially inward. The weight of my torso pushing on the back of the chair causes torque, but not enough to make the chair lean back too far that I fall or it breaks.
I could also talk about gravity and normal force, and a billion other little things, but I think I should save your guys' eyes from dying. This is the 10th post! Wow, I've been so busy that I didn't notice the amount of blogs we just did. Happy 10th post everyone!
Yay for my soft spinny chair!
