Simple Machines Fulcrum Balance Model

This fulcrum balance is a wooden simple machines apparatus designed for studying how changing the distance from the fulcrum affects mechanical advantage. The apparatus is elegantly designed for intuitive student use, allowing students to determine the balance point for a given set of masses through hands-on experimentation. Made from particle board and wood, the unit includes an instruction manual to facilitate student and teacher use. It is suitable for physics instruction on levers, equilibrium, and mechanical advantage at the elementary and secondary levels.
