Which Doors around WashU are the Hardest to Open?? Torques in ACTION

This video was part of an optional extra credit project submitted by Will Li, Shashank Mani, and Frank Fan for the Intro Physics 191 class at Washington University in St. Louis.

We hope that this video serves an educational purpose in inspiring other students to pursue fun, interesting research projects related to Physics and STEM. For Shashank, Frank and I, we didn't want to settle for some boring, run-of-the-mill project to get our Extra Credit. Instead, we wanted to go the extra mile and find a more entertaining way to apply what we've learned in class, with the hopes of making a difference somehow.

Special thanks to all the amazing faculty Deans and admin who assisted in providing us blueprints for the many doors around campus, as well as providing guidance on material composition. The list of contributors we extend our deepest gratitude to includes, but is not limited to:
Timothy Vetter, Vice Chancellor JD Long II, Dean Carmon Colangelo, Dean Aaron Bobick, Philip Bayly, Jeff Morrisey, Michael Altepeter, and Brian Newman.
