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.
