Centre of gravity and balance simulations
An object’s weight can be modeled as acting through its centre of gravity. Compare support positions and turning effects to reason about equilibrium and stability.

How to use the simulator
- Choose a prepared experiment or create a scene with approved objects.
- Predict what will happen before changing a single variable.
- Run, pause, reset, inspect, and graph supported measurements.
- Compare the result with the model limitations and an independent calculation or practical measurement.
