- Put different weights on each side and ask them to make balance by changing the weights on either side of the paper cups (changing the center of mass).
Questions to be asked
- If I add more weights on one side of the device, how would you make it balance?
- How do you know you got the exact right amount of products while going to the vendor's shop?
