"I Used Physics to Calculate How Much Yoda Weighs" Topic

"Everyone knows Luke Skywalker travels to Dagobah to learn the ways of The Force (like his father before him). He trains with Jedi master Yoda. Perhaps you recall the scene where Luke does a one-armed handstand while balancing Yoda on one foot. Yes, for a real person this is pretty much impossible—but not for a Jedi.

Ok, so here is the plan: I am going to use Luke's pose to estimate the mass of Yoda. This will be all about the center of mass. If the Luke-Yoda system is in equilibrium, then the center of mass for the entire system must be directly above Luke's one hand on the ground. (If you want a more detailed explanation of center of mass and balance, check this post where I use center of mass to estimate the mass of Darth Vader.) To do this, I will make the following assumptions:

The planet Dagobah is just like Earth—the gravitational field on the surface of the planet doesn't really matter, but still I am going to assume this.
Luke's mass and mass distribution is just like any normal human. I guess Luke is a human. Now that I think of it, he should be an alien, right?
Luke has a height of 5 feet 9 inches and a weight of 150 pounds (1.75 m and 68 kg).
There are only two external forces on the Luke-Yoda system: the gravitational force and the force of the ground pushing up. For this calculation, there is no The Force force…"

Someone's got too much time on his hands.

Someone's got too much Yoda on their feet.

But they forgot to apply the other external force factors:

1 Henson unit x 1 Oz unit.
