Seven experiments in motion, force and light. Change a parameter, inspect the result and test the model. Start with Balance Bench, or choose an experiment below.
CHALLENGE 01
Pendulum Sync
YOUR PERIOD
Adjust the controls, then check your result.
THE IDEA
A small force can have a big say.
A weight farther from the pivot creates more turning effect. Balance the clockwise and counterclockwise moments to hold the beam level.
Signed moment = Σ(m r) in kg·m · Torque τ = g Σ(m r) cos θ in N·m
Ideal beam with a fixed pivot. The animation illustrates moment balance; it is not a structural model.
