B1-14: CENTER OF MASS - BOTTLE
Additional Info
- ID Code: B1-14
- Purpose: Illustrate the center of mass in a surprising way
- Description: When the neck of a wine bottle is position inside a hole of a plastic support, the system will be in a stable equilibrium therefore the wine bottle will remain at rest in an unlikely position. Question: Why is this system in equilibrium? (A: The center of mass of the system is above the base area of the plastic support).
