A simple demonstration of conduction can be achieved with a Bunsen burner and some rods of different materials (copper, iron and glass are good materials to try).

Question Image

Melt some candle wax and dip the end of each rod into it; use the melted wax to stick a small nail or a pin to the end of each rod. Put the rods on a tripod and place the ends without candle wax into a Bunsen burner flame. The nail on the end of the best conductor will fall off first. In which order do you expect the nails to fall?

Given that the total mass of the Eiffel Tower is about 10,000 tonnes. The base of the tower consists of four feet, each of which is a square of side 25 m. The Great Pyramid of Giza is estimated to have a mass of about 6 million tonnes and its square base has a side of 230 m. Compare the pressure exerted on the ground by the Eiffel Tower and the Great Pyramid of Giza to the air pressure, which is about 101,000 Pa.
