What is Physics of the Falling Chimney about?

g sin θ H (8a) (8b) 1. The document reviews the theory of why tall structures like chimneys often break in mid-air when falling to the ground. 2. It explains that the breaking can be caused by either shear forces developing near the base or by bending of the structure caused by an internal bending moment, most likely occurring between one-third to one-half the height. 3. Small scale toy models are used to experimentally test this theory by examining photos of the models falling and breaking.
