Question

Project 2. Measuring. Is the right hand generally stronger than the left in right-handed people? You can crudely measure hand strength by placing a bathroom scale on a shelf with the end protruding, then squeezing the scale between the thumb and the four fingers. The reading of the scale shows the force exerted. Using several right-handed subjects, try to determine whether this method of measuring hand strength is reliable. Write an account of your findings. For example, did you find that subjects used different grips, so that careful instructions were needed to get a consistent way of measuring? Prepare written instructions for subjects.
