SIMPLE BUT SIGNIFICANT SCIENCE USING EVERYDAY MATERIALS ... In a gravitational field, any object is most stable when its center of mass is as low as possible. The center of mass of the nail assembly is below the point of support and at its lowest when the assembly is balanced.

The difference between mass and weight causes a lot of confusion amongst a lot of people. Put simply, weight is a measure of gravity's effect on something. Mass is the amount of matter in an object. Move to a different planet and an object's weight will change, but its mass will be the same.

To challenge accepted notions of art, Duchamp selected mass-produced, often functional objects from everyday life for his artworks, which he called Readymades.

1901: Emile Berliner invents the Gramophone, which uses flat disks made of shellac, in 1901. The disks produce a better quality of sound, are more durable, and are easier to mass produce than the wax cylinder. They quickly replace all cylinders.

It is correct that everything that has mass also has gravity, i.e. any two objects with mass will attract each other. However, for two small objects, such as a yo-yo and a human (small compared to the Earth), this force is so tiny that we have a hard time measuring it with even our most sensitive instruments.

The phenomenon could be responsible for something as significant as the mass of everyday objects, yourself included, and could finally explain why the fundamental particles of matter have the mass they do.
