In the Discussion question for Lesson 12, Makeshift Scale, we considered creative ways to estimate mass from known parameters such as the masses of other objects and measurable distances. With that in mind, consider the figure of a mobile. If the mass of the chicken is 23 grams and the donkey is 40 grams, estimate the distances X₂ and X4 and the masses of the cow and pig, given that the total mass of the animals is slightly over 150 grams.
