Simple Machines - Fulcrum Balance

Simple Machines - Fulcrum BalanceThe Fulcrum Balance model is an ideal tool for exploring the mechanics of levers and equilibrium. With its long lever arm and central pivot point, this model invites students to investigate how the distribution of mass affects balance. By moving weights and adjusting distances from the fulcrum, learners gain an intuitive and measurable understanding of torque and mechanical advantage. Educational benefits: Teaches principles of balance, torque, and
