Ok I know that the weight varies on every potato. I dont want to take potatos to school and weigh them in the chem lab at school so does any one know the average weight of a potato about 2 inches around either cut or uncut. If not I will take them to the school.

A potato has a density of a 1.1g/ml.

Shalt be fairly simple, thusly, to calculate the mass of potato projectile.
