An old shade-tree mechanic trick for removing a stubborn bolt is to slip a long pipe over the handle of the wrench, then apply a force to the end of the pipe opposite the bolt. Why is this effective? What problems might this technique cause?

it is given that trillions of microbes make up to 1% to 3% of the body mass.

let's take average of this percentage: 2%

consider the average mass of the human body as 70 kg.

then, trillions of microbes would have mass  

therefore, 100 trillion micro-organisms would weigh:

this is an approximate value and could change depending on the mass of the human body and percentage of the microbes present in it.

average mass per microorganism =
