Hi,I had this problem which I cannot answer. I would appreciate if someone could help me out.
Here's the problem -
In the labaratory,you are asked to determine the mass of a meterstick without using a scale of any kind. In addition to the meterstick you may use :
1.Briefly list the steps in your procedure that will lead you to the mass of the meterstick.
2.Show calcualtions you would perform to find the mass of a meterstick.
_____________________________________
Would we use the fulcrum and tie it up with the string and the meterstick? on the other side,hang one of the weight hangers and start putting in the masses and wait till the thing stablizes?
