Oval Weight

A weight in the shape of an oval
PIRA: 1J10.14

Materials: Oval Weight

This demo is to show that the center of mass of an object is not always the center of an object and depends on where all the weight is at. This is a relatively simple idea to grasp but can help students who are having a hard time understanding the concept of center of mass.
