About this Simulation

This simulation models the rotational behaviour of rectangular blocks under applied forces. Learners can adjust block dimensions, apply forces at different points, and observe how torque influences whether the block tilts, slides, or remains in equilibrium. Explore the relationship between force magnitude, distance from pivot, and rotational motion.

Learning objectives: Understand how distance from pivot and force magnitude combine to produce turning effects | Predict whether a block will rotate or remain stable under given force conditions | Investigate the concept of torque and its role in rotational equilibrium
