Balancing Act
Description

๐Ÿ” Explore
Master the science of balance on a seesaw lever. Place different weights on numbered pegs, compare turning effects, and discover the rule that keeps the beam perfectly balanced.

๐ŸŽฎ Try It
โ€ข Drag masses onto the beam pegs and remove the support stands to see which side tilts down.
โ€ข Check Position markers and Mass labels to clearly see distances and weights on both sides.
โ€ข Place a heavy object near the center and test whether a lighter object placed further out can balance it.

๐ŸŽฏ Your Mission
In Balance Lab, place a 20 kg object 1.00 m from the pivot and balance it with a 10 kg object on the opposite side.

๐ŸŒ Real-World Connection
Tower cranes on construction sites use heavy concrete counterweights positioned opposite the lifting arm to keep the crane stable while lifting steel beams.
