Question: How much does this weigh!?
ok, lets see if this gets your brains ticking over
If you balanced a broom horizontally on your finger, so that your finger was exactly on the broom's center of gravity, marked that spot and cut the broom in two, then you would have a long and a short piece!. The long piece being most of the handle and the short piece being the bristle end and a small part of the handle!. Now what will happen if you weigh both pieces!? (pick all that apply)
A) The short piece will weigh more!.
B) The long piece will weigh more!.
C) Both will weigh the same!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Answers:
the short piece will weigh more!.
Force * distance, the broom handle can be lighter but because it is further away from the centre of gravity it exerts a bigger force!.
The bristle end is heavier but closer to the centre of gravity so less force is exerted because the distance is shorter!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
