Look at the Eifel Tower or a local steel bridge. A model airplane shop could help with the wood and look at an airplane body frame. \nTo calculate, look for a statics book. Engineers need to know how much force each piece has to hold.

Mechanical engineering has been used to design many machines for the planting, growing and harvesting of food crops, animal protein processing, food processing, and food packaging. There are special considerations when designing such machines since the machines must be easy to clean.

Here's a pretty good FAQ on spinning wheel design and history:\n\nhttp://www.spwhsl.com/faqlink.htm\n\nIt includes links to plans for making your own spinning wheel.

Get a mechanical engineering hand book and go through the topic clearances and fits.

This is my class' website from last semester. I believe the homework problems should still be there.\n\nI'm not sure what book you're using, but ours was "Mechanisms and Dynamics of Machinery" 4th edition by Hamilton Mabie.

The ASME (mechanical engineer's) code of ethics does a pretty good job of summarizing an answer to your question.  Good luck.

Look up Vector Mechanics for Engineers and Scientists.  This deals with basic Newtonian physics as applied to static structures.\n\nBone up on chemistry.  It is easy to forget your chemistry, and as far as I know you will be required to take a few semesters of basic Chem, even if you are not planning on being a Chem Eng.\n\nDo not lose your Maths either!  Grab a pre-calc or a calculus book and keep practicing.

Some ideas:\n\n-a pendelum\n-a windmill\n-a model roller coaster (this demonstrates all three of newton's laws)\n-a car that pushes off a rubber band and goes forward (this demonstrates newton's third law of motion)\n-a model car that crashes into some cardboard (this demonstrates inertia)\n-push different sized toys with different masses off a rubber band\n-throw a ball at an object so that it moves (this demonstrates newton's second law of motion)\n\nThe possibilites are endless! you can also combine more than one of these ideas.
