Bear Barrow

February 25, 2013
Where can you place "bears" on a bear-barrow so they will be the easiest to move?

Use a scale to measure the grams shown on the scale
when the bears are near the handle, in the middle,
and near the wheels.


Record the three amounts.

Where is the best place?
 

Each of the fishing weights is 25 grams.

All the weights together is 3,275 grams.

It is hard to move the weights when they are near the handle.

It is easy when they are near the wheels.
