EQUILIBRIUM MODEL / EXPERIMENT FOUR

Olivia Malone
This model achieves a careful equilibrium in the form of a self-stabilizing lever. Through compressive and tensile forces, the block balances on one end of a plank, which is suspended on a small fulcrum supported by a wire. The load on the opposite end of the plank takes the form of a column condition being driven downwards by two crossing wires strung at the apex of the pole.
