Section 2.1 Section 2.1
Tall, taller, tallest The world's tallest structure is the 828 m (2,717 ft) tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The building gained the official title of "Tallest Building in the World" at its opening on 4 January 2010. It is taller than any other man-made structure ever built.
The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, an organization that certifies buildings as the "World s Tallest", recognizes a building only if at least fifty percent of its height is made up of floor plates containing habitable floor area.[1]Structures that do not meet this criterion, such as the CN Tower, are defined as "towers".

Imagine you are to build the tallest possible tower?! What forces will act on the building that you need to think of???
A force force is a push or pull that is a push or pull that A tends to cause an object to tends to cause an object to change its movement or change its movement or shape shape
The Newton The unit for measuring force (N) 1 Newton = amount of force to hold up a mass of 100g
Actual effect of a force on a structure depends on three things 1. Magnitude (size of the force) 2. 2. Direction Direction 3. 3. Location Location (where the force is applied)
Text - Pg. 282 Magnitude Magnitude Bigger the magnitude, the stronger it is and the more effect it will have on a structure Direction Direction Magnitude may be the same but direction different Location Location Where the force is applied affected the outcome
