If the mass is doubled, the differential threshold also doubles to 10 g, so that 210 g can be distinguished from 200 g. In this example, a weight ( any weight ) seems to have to increase by 5 % for someone to be able to reliably detect the increase, and this minimum required fractional increase ( of 5 / 100 of the original weight ) is referred to as the " Weber fraction " for detecting changes in weight.
