Question

You research your favorite topic: earthquakes. You build a tall LEGO building, and you want to know which type of motion is most damaging to your building. You discover in your research that side-to-side motion is the worst. You will place the building on a piece of wood and shake it for durations of 30 seconds, 60 seconds, and 90 seconds. You will try an up-and-down motion and side-to-side motion.

Answer 1

If the Lego building is shaken side to side, it will withstand up to 60 seconds because front to back will cause the top of the building to collapse.
