TRADITION WATERMELON DROP

Photo credit: The tradition
Erik Jepsen/UC San Diego Publications began in 1965
when a freshmen Physics
class took a question posed by a
professor to the next level! Each year,
a watermelon is dropped from the 7th floor of
Urey Hall so students can measure its velocity on
impact and determine just how far pieces of the fruit can
splat. On the first year, the distance from the point of impact to
the farthest piece found was recorded at 91 feet!
