Dilemma : Avoid Getting Duped

There is a new synthetic material that a company just fabricated and you, as an entrepreneur
and venture capitalist, are interested in purchasing it. The hook is, the company is only
interested in entertaining offers from those who can identify the material based on its density.
The company will send you 3 samples and if you can identify the correct sample based on your
collection of evidence, you will get a bid to purchase the the copyright to it. The only information
the company provides you with in addition to the 3 samples is the synthetic materials density,
which is 1.152 g/cm3.

1 precision picture for measuring mass using the triple beam balance- (include description- do not use
accurate)

In this photo I am moving the ones riders to try and find the most precise measure possible of its
mass. I have lowered to the Triple Beam Balances height to make sure I get the point as precise as
possible.
