The problem I was having, however, was dealing with error. Assuming the mass is 2.3 g, then these cans have a lot of balls in them (up to 50). 2.3 g does not go into each mass evenly, but that doesn't mean I should look for a smaller number (right?). Obviously, 0.1 g would be a factor of each...

1. Homework Statement You are given twelve cans (one of which is empty) which are filled with a certain number of ball bearings. Using nothing more than a balance, calculate the mass of a single bearing 2. Homework Equations Total Mass=Mo+n(mo) Where total mass=mass of ball bearings...
