The “Volunteers”
The Project The bouncy ball (manually started) rolls down an obstacle and eventually land on a mousetrap, setting it off. When the mousetrap is set off, it hits the bag of rocks which is attached to the string that is attached to the 1 kg weight. The bag of rocks falls to the ground lifting the 1 kg weight.
