Let the sponge relax on a flat surface and position the soap box as shown. Using your index finger, apply force at point x and gradually increase the amount of force applied. If the box falls, reposition the box as shown in the figure. Do the same for points y and z. . Flip the sponge so that A is in contact with C. Using your index finger, apply force at point x and gradually increase the amount of force applied. If the box falls, reposition the box as shown in the figure. Do the same for points y and z. What happens when force is applied at point x? at point y? at point z? Are there differences with the results in step 5 and 6 Why do you think so For steps 5 and 6 Z Z AB
