20 Student Chair Trick
A Science Lesson in Static Equilibrium.
Static equilibrium is the balance of forces in systems at rest. The students start in a circle sitting in chairs. They are in static equilibrium because their weight pushing down is exactly balanced by the chair pushing up, in accordance to Newton' Third Law.
When they lay back onto one another's laps, their weight is precisely balanced by the force on their feet, the chair, and the lap of the person behind them pushing up. By shifting the weight from the chair to the person behind them, the students support themselves on their own feet and the feet (and lower legs) of the people behind them. Once this equilibrium is achieved, the chairs are no longer supporting the students and can be removed.
Mutual Trust
This is an exercise in team-building and mutual trust. To be successful, each student must trust the student behind them to support and protect them. Each student knows that, if the student behind them fails, they will fall to the floor back-first. This is a very uncomfortable and vulnerable position.
If anyone tries to sit up, or get out of the circle, the equilibrium is destroyed for the group and they will all fall down. The circle depends on 100% buy in and trust. Beyond the Physics, the circle is built on the confidence that their team mates literally "have their back".

I see If one falls they all fall, one falls the person that’s relying and laying on their legs will fall which means the next person that’s relying on his legs will fall and it’ll be an endless loop

It was actually really easy I did it with my gym class using only 1 chair.
Wow🙀 awesome
Can I use/show this to a class as an illustration?
Domino at end xD
I lowkey wanna try this with my class
Wow amazing😎😎
You could do twenty guys bumming the person in front while getting bummed themselves by the person behind, in a continuous circle in much the same fashion as this video, if you wanted.
Cool!
Ingenious
Now I wanna do it
CAN'T WAIT TO DO THIS WITH MY FRE- wait i have none
Family: So what is it that you do at uni? Me:
The guy at the end got up before he would have fallen lol
CUTLETS! "Are you a believer in the Great Mogul?"
This is so cool
Pretty cool
Congratulations! You have all qualified for the Human Centipede
I think it was very hard , they do a very great job already!😉
Thats cool!!!!
Wow man amazing
When the last chair was removed and after a brief "yay" they're like "now what?" 😅😅😅
Doing the military push up is cool too but the only thing youll be using is your hands and it needs to be with 4 people
My plan for a humancentipede is coming along fine I see
Cool teacher
When you are so proud of yourself...
Cool.
I try this with my friends and yeah we got hurt 😂
são muito alunos teimosicimos
We tried to beat the world record at our school in norway with 150 students! It worked in like 5 seconds and one person lost the balance and we all fell!
Interesting music choice....
At my middle school we did the same thing except with multiple stories
This is what it reminds me of *We all fall down* *From Ring around a or the Rosie*
that is so cool
Physic is great
Omg so cool😲😲
Wow 😯
We did that before in our Class but then we got in trouble cause they said it was too dangerous.
The intro instantly killed me.
So good
I did this at school its fun
That was cool 😁😁😁
I wanna try this soooo bad now😂
awesome
That's cool
I was like " now what? " until 1:50
My friends and I did that with about the same amount of people but we move around the room
they’ve fall just like domino 😂😂😂
Did anyone notice that the guy that stood up at the end looked like he was covering something
"is math related to science?"
I wanna make my class do this
Wow.
I like it
the guy behind the blond girl just fucking got up as soon as he saw everyone starting to fall
We did this exercise as part of our red cross youth training...without chairs. I tell ya it was painful 😂
imagine if someone sneezes... like... one of those hardcore sneezes...
How are they supposed to get u...... Welp dominoes.... that works
Who was watching the guy in blue the whole time?😂😂
