  • Next message: by way of Jane Duden Journey North: "Challenge Question #8"

    Challenge Question #7:
    "What percentage of a crane's weight is the transmitter?"

        First, we have to figure out how much the crane weighs in grams. There
    are 28 grams in one ounce. A pound would have 448 grams. So a crane that
    weighs 22 pounds, would weigh 9856 grams.

        A transmitter weighs 60 grams. That would be less than 1% of the crane's
    weight.

        I don't think they would notice it because it was not even 1%.
