1. A common garden ant 5 mm

   Ants can lift objects many times their own weight thanks to their tiny size and the physics of scale.

2. A small recreational sailboat 9.4 m

   Modern sails work like vertical wings, generating lift that lets boats sail faster than the wind itself.

3. The Leaning Tower of Pisa 58 m

   It began tilting during construction in the 1170s because of soft ground, and engineers only stabilised it in 2001.

   Though it looks serene, Fuji is an active volcano that last erupted in 1707, dusting distant Tokyo with ash.
