How to weigh something without a scale

Here's a scenario: You're baking a cake and you need to know how much oil to add. You've got the recipe, but you don't have a scale. What do you do? We've all been in that situation. It's a common dilemma in the kitchen, especially for bakers. Fortunately, there are a few ways to estimate the weight of an ingredient without a scale.

What you need to weigh something without a scale.

Weighing something without a scale isn't as hard as you'd think. There are several ways to weigh something without a scale. One way is that you can use the formula mass * density * height * (1/12). Another way is that you can use a fulcrum and lever. To use the fulcrum and lever method, you need to find a level piece of ground, and a stick that is longer than the object you are trying to weigh.

Calculate how much you can hold based on your arm length.

A good starting point for finding out how much you can carry is to use your arm length. The rule of thumb is that you can carry about 10% of your arm length in kilograms. For example, if you're 175cm tall, you can carry about 17.5kg, or if you're 155cm tall, you can carry about 15kg. This rule of thumb isn't perfect, but it should be good enough for most people.
