The leaning tower of Pisa was built on sandy soil which caused the weight of the tower to be too much for part of the ground and it began to lean on that side. The tower has sunken slightly over the years, but since 77 tons of ground had been removed and the tower has been stabilized in 2008 it is in no danger of falling.

When should a clock tower start to chime?
A clock tower should start to time once it hits the hour. I allways like to here it chime once its dinner time so i no i finish work and i can rush home to a lovely warm dinner. Its goes off 24 times a day normally scares the S*it out of you if your stood close to it.
What is the purpose of a water tower?
The purpose of a water tower is to maintain constant water pressure in a water distribution system.so people can have running water i there houseThe above is true, but there is more to the story.Water towers function as storage cisterns for water and also serve to equalize water pressure between times of heavy and light usage.Water could be sent directly to homes and factories using pumps, but this would result in large differences in pressure during times of fluctuating useage since the pumps would be unable to compensate quickly for the increased/decreased demand.The water tower serves as a buffer zone, supplying water at exactly the same pressure (gravitational pull, which is constant) throughout the day regardless of useage, and the pumps can easily respond to lower levels as needed
What is 'non coincident peak demand' in an electrical system?
Non-Coincident Peak (NCP) is the individual or actual peak demands of each load in an electrical system oftentimes occurring at different hours of the day. It does not necessarily fall during system peak. (This is what i understood about NCP...I gladly welcome corrections)

What threats does the leaning tower of Pisa have?
the leaning tower of Pisa could fall one day
When was the tower of Pisa built?
The leaning tower of Pisa was built of the day of August 9,1173
What was used to make the leaning tower of Pisa?
It was the ground that the tower was built on, that eventually caused the tilt of the tower - it was totally unintended. Over the years, there has been many attempts to stabilise the tilt - reinforcing the foundations is just one example. I doubt that anyone wants to see the tower actually fall, or to be straightened to the vertical (the tilted tower is a tourist attraction).

Can tourists actually go to the top of Leaning Tower Pisa?
Yes!!Enlarged picture of the top of the Leaning Tower in Pisa. You can pay a little extra if you want to actually enter the tower and climb the 270 stairs to the top of it.

It's possible to book online or directly to the cash in the Cathedral Square, but in this case there can be a waiting time until three or four hours in the tourist season.Visitors to the Leaning Tower of Pisa are welcome to go inside and climb to the top. The tower is actually a bell tower for the church right next to it. Tickets can be bought onsite or online in advance of your visit.

How much is the tower of Pisa leaning?
The leaning is nearly 3.99 degrees towards south.The inclination has been stopped with the recent restoration works and also the tower has been straightened more than 40 centimeters compared to it was before .Restoration works began in 1991 and ended in 2001.The Leaning Tower of Pisa is leaning 15 feet (4.5m) to the southeast.Originally the tower leaned at an angle of 5.5 degrees, but due to the restoration work carried out between 1990 and 2001, the Tower now leans at an angle of 3.99 degrees.About 14 feet.The Leaning Tower of Pisa leans at about a 3.99 degree angle.SouthThe Leaning Tower Of Piza leans 43⁰North and 10⁰23'47"East.3.99 degressit moves about 12 cm a day making a celousus difference. It's a really good tourist spot and thousands of people go there in a year. People all over the world go and The Leaning Tower Of Pisa is situated in Pisa. ( Which is quite funny). This is a massive desination with tourism and you should go!11.6 km down from the ground.i dunno. hi.bye.The leaning tower of Pisa leans southwest.currently, 3.99 degrees or 3.9 metres.14.5 ft and leaning more each year5.5 degreesBecause some one pushed it and it just leaned.The Tower of Pisa originally leaned at 5.7 degrees, however, due to restoration work carried out in 2001, it currently leans at 3.97 degrees. It is estimated to collapse in 75 to 100 years, which at that point will be at a 6.1 degree angle.
Why does the leaning tower of pisa lean?
The Leaning Tower Of Pisa was built on unsteady soil, which made it lean shortly after it's constructionThe foundation was off so when it was built it leaned to a side. They dug the foundation 10 feet down, but didn't reach bedrock, and therefore did not have a stable footing. It leans approximately 0.2 more each year. As of the current, it leans about 17 feet now.The Leaning Tower of Pisa is leaning because when they first built it the floor wasn't stable and the bottom of the building collapsed. Hope this answered your question:)The Tower of Pisa began leaning shortly after its construction. The undersized foundation was improperly laid and the substrate on which that foundation was set down did not properly support it. The ground shifted and the tower began to lean and also to settle, and this was after the foundation was laid and the first three floors were erected. This was before the year 1200, and the tower still stands (but with help). Wikipedia has more information, and a link to their post can be found below.The tower's tilt began during construction, caused by an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The tilt increased in the decades before the structure was completed, and gradually increased until the structure was stabilized (and the tilt partially corrected) by efforts in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.It started to slant when it was only half way built, as it is built on soft sand. For its entire life it has been maintained at a slant as a curiosity and tourist attraction.Because it was built on soft ground that squished a bit under the weight of the tower. It's leaning b/c one side squished more than the other.Because it's built partially on soft ground, and the weight of the structure is causing one side to sink - therefore it leans.The tower began to sink after construction had progressed to the third floor in 1178. This was due to a mere three-meter foundation, set in weak, unstable subsoil, a design that was flawed from the beginning.Tower of Pisa leans sideways because it was built on unstable soil. In 1173 construction started on the 180-foot bell tower, which is located in Pisa, a small town in the Italian province of Tuscany. The building began to lean as soon as the first three floors were completed. Nevertheless, building continued and the seven-story structure was finished between 1360 and 1370. The tower leans a little bit more each year and was closed for repairs in 1990, when it was leaning fourteen and one-half feet to one side. Engineers worked to stabilize the foundation, straightening the tower only slightly to help prevent irreparable damage without taking away the uniqueness of the structure.er's characteristic angle has attracted thousands of visitors to Pisa throught ages.............................................................................The Tower of Pisa leans sideways because it was built on unstable soil.

The weight of the tower made it lean.It was built on clay, not stone. Therefore the foundations move with the clay. One day the tower will fall.Something went wrong in the construction ( It was built on unsteady soil )The leaning tower of Pisa was leaning southwest from its vertical location due to its poorly laid foundation and the soil beneth which is saturated with water due to high underground water levels. Due to the weight of the tower all the water beneath squeezed out of its location due to the porous nature of soil, hence the tower is leaning..the ground it was built on has began to erode and wash away and is creating a void and the weight of the tower leans filling this voidThe towers tilt wasn't intentional , the construction happened in 1173.

Which scientist found that the rate at which an object falls is not related to it's mass?
Galileo Galilei, an Italian scientist who lived in the 16th century, developed this concept in his work on kinematics. The widely told story of his experiment dropping different masses from the Leaning Tower of Pisa (Pisa was his hometown) is most likely apocryphal. He probably only refered to a "thought experiment" like this, but never actually carried it out. Still, he did correctly assert that falling bodies with different masses, but all else equal, will fall at equal rates. This contradicted the conventional wisdom of the day, traced back to Aristotle, that more massive bodies will fall faster.
