About this Simulation

This interactive simulation allows learners to explore the principles of balance, torque, and rotational equilibrium. By adjusting masses and distances on a lever system, students discover how balanced forces and moments work in real-world scenarios, developing intuitive understanding of pivot points and equilibrium conditions.

Learning objectives: Understand the concept of torque and moment equilibrium | Apply the principle of moments to predict and verify balance conditions | Investigate how mass distribution and distance from the pivot affect rotational stability
