What you'll learn

  1. Balance the see-saw: Balance: the torques match
  2. Metre rule: The rule's own weight
  3. Find the edge: Balance under the centre of mass
  4. Two scales: Two supports: torques, then forces
  5. Walk the plank: About to tip: one support lets go
  6. The cheat's balance: Weigh twice, swap the pans
