A Standing Tripod



    Why is it that a tripod stands firmly, even when its three legs are of different length?

Answer:     tripods are so convenient for land surveying instruments and photographic cameras, because the tripod stands firmly on three legs. The three legs of a tripod always rest on the floor because through any three points of space there can pas one plane. And only one. The reason is purely geometrical and not physical.
