Mathematicians discover the ideal body shape for hula hooping
Using 1/10th scale 3D-printed hula hooping robots and a lot of math, researchers have determined the ideal body shape for hula hooping.
Hula hooping is a simple child's activity but requires defying gravity. A trio of mathematicians from NYU's Applied Mathematics Laboratory set out to explain the physics and mathematics of hula hooping. Th…
