𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐙𝐰𝐢𝐜𝐤/𝐑𝐨𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐙𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓-𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡! 🥥🌴 Recently, we asked you to guess the pressure required to break a coconut using our Zwick Test Bench. Now, it’s time to reveal the results! • Test 1: Horizontal Test In this test, the coconut was placed horizontally between two pressure plates. The outcome? The coconut cracked into nearly equal halves under a force of 3820 N—equivalent to roughly 389.4 kg, or the weight of about 130 bricks! That’s one tough coconut. • Test 2: Vertical Test For the second test, we positioned the coconut vertically with the “tip” facing up. The result? It took an even greater force of 7030 N (around 716.5 kg) to break it. • Test 3: Total Destruction In our final test, we unleashed all forces to completely shatter the coconut. The results demonstrated significant strength variation based on direction—highlighting the coconut’s directional strength dependency. 💥 Conclusion: We’re impressed by the coconut’s resilience! Its tough shell is designed to protect the coconut water and flesh, and it certainly lives up to the challenge. Interestingly, our own skulls are similarly resilient. Research suggests that the human skull can endure up to 1900 N before fracturing, making it another marvel of nature’s protective design. Stay tuned for more intriguing experiments! ✨
