Question:
The Tacoma Narrows Suspension Bridge collapsed as a result of 40-mile-per-hour (64km/h) wind conditions on the morning of November 7, 1940.
Discuss physics principles that could have led to the collapse. Estimate the period and wavelength of the standing wave. (The full bridge length was around 1800 meters, but the longest span was 850 meters.)
How could 40 mph winds cause such damage? How could the collapse have been avoided?
