Balancing Act

Balancing Act

Lever Balance Simulation

Description

Why does a seesaw balance? Torque confuses many people. Balancing Act lets you place bricks, kids and fire extinguishers on a plank, and moving a piece makes the plank tip or hold level at once.

There is also a mystery-mass challenge where you deduce an unknown mass using balance alone, with game levels to practice.

Features



Place anything: Drag objects to any spot along the plank.

Torque display: Turn on force arrows and a ruler to read each force.

Balance lab: Find an unknown mass with known ones.
