Best Answer

I used a consumer-grade scale that's accurate to 100mg and shook my shaker over it until it went up by 100mg. I repeated this about 4 times, and also did a few tests with larger amounts. They were all in close agreement that there are 8-10 shakes in 100mg, meaning that 1 shake is 10-12.5mg.Salt is 40% sodium by weight, so a shake contains 4-5mg of sodium. My salt shaker has 5 holes and was using fairly coarse pink salt. Yours may vary by quite a lot.

Alternate response: I was trying to find this out and couldn't, so I experimented. At a very rough estimate, it took 200 or so shakes to fill a teaspoon. Using that figure, a single shake would have ~12 mg of sodium.

What is required to start an object vibrating?

A shaker vibrates to make sound when the contents inside the shaker are shaking. However, the contents inside the shaker can make a high pitched sound when alot of force is used for shaking the shaker. On the other hand a low pitched sound is produced from the shaker when only little force is used for shaking the instrument. reasoning for why a shaker would change in volume depends on how much you shake the shaker and the amount of speed you use to shake it.
