Delete from the bottle material list: Lead and Mercury #106

Leave the list of materials to Copper: image

In that way, the max value of the mass slider is 90 kg, and allows better visibility for less dense materials: image

Closing as completed

I am reopening because the range of the mass slider is not 90 kg (check my first comment):

Sorry that I continue asking you for extra refinements, probably is better to open another issue? But Custom option is strange.

Looks strange for me that the max value of mass is 89.6 kg. I understand that is the max value for copper, but custom? Students always enjoy playing with the extremes of values, then I was thinking of a nicer number. In the begging I think in 100 kg, but that makes that a Custom block can have a density of 100 kg/L, that is just crazy! Then let's make custom the same that explore:

I also checked that the Custom option in the boat screen only goes to 10 kg, and also need to go to 27. image

The above has been sorted out over in https://github.com/phetsims/buoyancy/issues/115
