The one that is stretched tightly would probably be more likely to break.   The lack of tension would cause the rope to reach its breaking point sooner.

If you simulate a geometrical structure in the form of an arch you will have the most evenly distributed stress.and the moment will be the same at all points.\nIf your question refers to how you tied a stell structure together ,the modern method is glue it to gether with a special glue designed for that purpose.

The energy stored in an object due to its postion (height, stress etc) is potential energy. When bungee cord is streatched, it is under tensile stress hence it has potential energy stored in it. This energy does work against gravity in pulling the jumper upwards.

Hanging them on trees looks cool cause you see it on TV, Cartoons, Gilagands Island and stuff, but the stand is actually much better.  The stand is more stable, you won't fall off like goofy in the cartoons.  I've had both, get a stand - there is no question.

Sound is a sense. The tree's fall causes vibrations, but, unless something is around to interpret those vibrations as sound, it is never "heard."

My sister was out playing, while we were camping, and she got too close to the edge of a cliff. She fell, and luckly there was a ledge that was only like 10 or 15 feet down. The ledge was actually quite skinny and nobody could figure out how she landed on it without getting hurt.

Jungle. It is much more dangerous.

It all depends on how you sleep on it.  In Brazil and other countries, people sleep in hammocks all the time.  I think if you sleep on an American hammock, you may have problems.  But Brazilian hammocks are different, where you lay on them diagonally, and your back is relatively flatter.

Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top...\nWhen the wind blows the cradle will rock...\nWHen the bow breaks the cradle will fall...\nRock-a-bye baby, cradle and all...\nGoodnight!!

unbalanced trees will fall/break sooner.

Aren't you assuming that the tree crushes the house? What if it were a small one like a sapling? Then it might just bust the window.

The wooden stick traveling at a slow speed is more likely to break because it is being hit with more force.

too dangerous, it could have broken a guys neck

It is nautical.  A block is a pulley and chock was a wedge of wood.  When the chock hit the block it was as close as it could get and would not move further.  So things that are as close together as they can be.

They are cheap enough to buy. And they are safer, especially if you plan to take in on a river or ocean.\n\nIf you are on a deserted island, well, that's a different story!!!!\n\nNot sure what would be the best wood to use.  Most would get water logged and lose its bouyancy

When perching birds sit, a tendon on the backside of the ankle automatically flexes locking their toes around the branch. With feet locked, sleeping birds don't fall. As the bird stands up its feet release.
