Oh what is the limit for the maximum number of submissions?

Hang the suitcase from a string, and run it through a straw. Tie to the other end of the string an object of known mass. Spin the object around fast enough to make the suitcase just barely life off the floor. m*v^2/r = W

You will need to measure the radius by holding the string steady and stopping the revolution. You can time the period to find speed.

Stand on a frictionless cart near the edge of a cliff. Install a pulley on the corner so that a string tied to the cart can run through the pulley and hang off the side of the cliff. Hang a mass of known weight from the string. While standing on the cart, hold an accelerometer (you can use a calibrated system of a marble inside a circular or parabolically bent straw) and measure the acceleration of the system. Fnet=ma so W_known = (M+m_known)*a_measured

Hahaha micronesia's having a blast here. Too bad I bombed my physics final so at the moment I hate physics...though I the plus side I still ended up with a B+ (though I could have easily gotten an A...fuck my life).

Bring luggage to nearest Fedex / UPS store and ask them how much it would cost to ship. After they weigh it and tell you the answer, tell them its to expensive and your going to just bring it with you.

You could also go to the nearest Walmart and buy a scale. They have a 30 day return policy.

Here is what you do. Fill the bag as much as you want with whatever crap you want, but make sure to take an empty handbag with you to the airport (Don't fill more than you know is too much). Once you get there and they measure your bag, they will tell you how much your bag weighs and by how much it is over. Proceed to empty the suitcase stuff into your empty handbag until the suitcase is of proper weight.

This.

A scale might be hard to find, but I'm sure there's a helicopter lying around somewhere for your experiment!

Brb gonna try this now

Your friend has to do the following:
1. Fill the suitcase with whatever stuff she needs for the journey.
2. Go to the airport and let the luggage guy weigh the suitcase.
3a. <15kg: All good.
3b. >15kg: Hurl shoes at the luggage guy screaming "It is the farewell kiss, you dog!" until he lets her pass.

wet everything a little bit and put it in the microwave for 1 minute. Compare the temperature difference that occured with the amount of Watt your microwave pumped into it.
