A customer goes to a market and buys some rice. The stallholder pours rice into a dish that hangs from a spring balance. He records the reading on the spring balance.
The customer then buys some pasta and the stallholder notices that the reading on the spring balance, with just pasta in the dish, is the same as it was with just rice in the dish. The rice and the pasta must have the same
