Then you could hang different masses on it, at the center (you'd probably have to borrow them from your teacher) and then record the mass at which it snaps.

Or instead of the masses, you could get a small pail or something similar, and suspend it from the center of the supported toothpick. Then slowly add send to the little pail, and when the toothpick snaps, record the mass of the pail and the sand together.

Para medir o comprimento de um alfinete, a unidade métrica mais adequada seria o **milímetro (mm)**. O alfinete é um objeto pequeno e, como o milímetro é uma unidade do Sistema Internacional (SI) que lida bem com medidas de itens pequenos, ele oferece precisão suficiente para esse tipo de medição. Exemplo: O comprimento de um alfinete pode variar entre **20 mm a 40 mm**, dependendo do tipo e modelo. Portanto, para medir com precisão o comprimento de um alfinete, o milímetro é a unidade mais apropriada.
