Cay on a Stick

Man balancing a stick on his hand with clay at the far end
PIRA 1Q10.10

Material: Clay Ball, Dowel

The dowel should be pushed into the ball of clay such that the clay can be moved along the length of the dowel. Moving the clay along the dowel will change the location of the center of mass. This will change the difficulty of balance when being held at one end.
