Physics 8A learning goal Q6.5
"Burns' Hog-Weighing Method:
(1) Get a perfectly symmetrical plank and balance it across a sawhorse.
(2) Put the hog on one end of the plank.
(3) Pile rocks on the other end until the plank is again perfectly balanced.
(4) Carefully guess the weight of the rocks."
--Robert Burns (1759-1796)
This quote is shown on the announcements section on the overhead projector just before a statics/dynamics midterm, to provide some source of levity for stressed-out students.
