#BROOM STANDING UP HOW TO#
Lakers’ JaVale McGee has mastered the #BroomChallenge. After seeing massive amounts of Facebook posts with pictures illustrating a broom standing on its own on March 4th 2012, Johnny Jello shows us how to stand. Whatever the explanation is behind the challenge, it’s still seems to be blowing almost everyone’s minds.įuture takes on the #BroomChallenge /MIFiApC1iz So, what exactly allows your broom to stand on its own? Is it the gravitational pull, energy and frequencies emitted from your good vibes, or are all brooms magical instruments of balance that we’re just discovering?Īlthough there hasn’t been any official word from NASA’s Twitter on the #broomchallenge, many claim it’s a hoax and there are no mystical gravitational powers behind the “trick.” Instead CNN reports that a broom has a low center of gravity which allows its weight to rest over the bristles and stand on its own. The world took to social media to try out the “trick” and people have been amazed with the results. "It is just the balancing of forces between the weight of the object and the force of the surface it is being balanced on, which is the force being pushed back against the object.The #broomchallenge has gone viral resulting from a 2012 myth which states that NASA allegedly said Monday was the only day you could make your broom stand upright all by itself. "The equinox has nothing to do with balancing an egg or a broom," McCollum said. During the equinox, it is not inclined either way. The Earth's axis is oriented about 23.5 degrees from upright, so the axis is sometimes inclined to be toward the sun, which happens in summer in the Northern Hemisphere, and then inclined away from the sun, which is winter.

The earth's axis wobbles around a point once every 26,000 years.

Any artfully designed broom and dustpan set that stands up on its own can help you actually enjoy sweeping.

From an astronomy point of view, it is basically the day when you have an equal number of day and night hours, 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of nighttime, according to McCollum. The phenomenon has been studied by paranormal researchers. Spring equinox represents the first day of spring. "Based on the design of the broom, you should be able to balance it during any season of the year," McCollum said. It's all about having the center of mass as low to the floor as possible, so the rest of the broom can stand up. With an older broom, a lot of the bristles may be broken off and the center of mass may not be in position, and the broom would probably fall over. If a lot of the mass is at the bottom of the broom itself, you can stand it up. With the broom standing up, it is the center of mass as well. You should be able to stand the egg upright once you find the particular point where you can balance out the forces.

Eggs have a sharp curved end and a lesser curved end, so you have the center of mass pretty close to the bottom. McCollum said you can balance a chicken egg if the center of mass, which is pretty low, is just right.
