How many ants would be needed to build a bridge from UK to Australia?

About 5 since my aunt Cathy is pretty big.

assuming 1.39/lb.\nit would take 7.5 lbs.\nso it would cost $10.43

I saw on a National Geographic filler that ants don't sleep. \nAnts don't have large brains, they don't need them as they would be wasted.....brains are very expensive energetically to maintain so animals don't want more than is required. \nAnt colonies work on simple principles to maintain themselves. For example, when a forager ant comes across a prey item and goes back to the colony to recruit help the number of foragers is not determined by the colony but by the size of the prey item. \nWhen the prey starts to be moved by the ants it is a signal that no more recruits are required. This shows that no conscious effort or knowledge is required by the colony, ants therefore don't need intelligence to carry out what on the surface may seem like intelligent decision making....simple brains.

im taking a wild guess.  ant?  as in ant hill??

Because the ant has such a large surface area comparative to its mass, it's likely that at any height on Earth when atmosphere is present that an ant will survive the fall.\n\nThere are several species of ant which are able to glide, maneuvering their body as they fall.  These are mostly tree-dwelling species in places like the Amazon rainforest.  If they happen to fall from a tree, they simply glide back to the trunk of the tree and climb back up.

Hope this info helps\n\nThe girders are made from steel (79% imported from England and 21% from Australian sources). The pylons are made of concrete faced in granite, which was quarried near Moruya, 300km from Sydney. Around 6 million rivets and 52,800 tonnes of steelwork and 17,000 cubic metres of granite have gone into the construction of the Bridge. The bridge took 8 years to build.

The idea is that all forces at the nodes (connecting points) are balanced. Draw the two free body diagrams.\n\nLeft point:\nFx\n0=-T1cos53+T2cos11\nFy\n0=T1sin53-T2sin11-57\nRight point:\nFx\n0=-T2cos11+T3cos42\nFy\n0=T2sin11+T3sin42-W2\n\nBy inspection we see only the first 2 eqns are required. Solve the system:\n0=-T1cos53+T2cos11\n0=T1sin53-T2sin11-57\n\nT1=83.62 N\n{=}8.5 kg

All the ants. There's about a googleplex of ants out there.

Ants have highly notable evolutionary mathematical instincts - just observe their colonies, chemically-organized behavior, and communal actions (e.g. marching, hunting, defending, etc.) as ONE creature.  They often build multilayer interlocking bridges (many times out of their own bodies), for instance, for other ants to cross over - suggesting that their geometrical instincts and architectural abilities are at least 3D)   ... However, if you like to "suppose" that they possess mathematical "reasoning", then why simply limit yourself to dimensional worlds?   ... Why not suppose that a first ant geometry can describe anomalously Transdimensional worlds, as well?   ... See, it pays to think like an ant, or at least a mathematician!   lol

According to the myrmecologists (ant specialists), there are over 20 000 species of ants on our planet, grouped into 350 different genera. It is in the ponerine tribe that the world's largest ants are found, namely, the Paraponera and the Dinoponera.\n \nThe Dinoponera gigantea are by far the largest, measuring up to three centimetres in length.

I have an idea for you. Go to the site I provided for the source. It's a truss bridge with an arch. The best of both worlds. The most important thing is the arch. That is where all of the strength comes from in a bridge. I hope that helps.

put a small inclined plane by the ants. they will want to climb up the inclined plane.then put a bucket at the end of they inclined plane.they will go in the bucket and there you go.

None, ants dont live in apartments. They live in colonies.
