1046 QO O @ A4030% Click here for the simulation Link: Torque Lab Physics Simulation We will learn about torques and balancing forces. Click on the Intro Box when you reach the Phet site. 1. Explore the Balancing Act Intro simulation. Select mass labels, forces from object and level for the gray Show box. For the Position box, select rulers. As you explore, write about what you find below. Any rules discovered? (About 5 minutes). 2. Is there more than one way to get two objects with identical masses to balance? How? 3. Switch to the Balance Lab window. Again, Select mass labels, forces from object and level for the gray Show box. For the Position box, select rulers. Next, try to get two brick objects with different masses to balance. Try to describe at least 2 different ways that you were able to balance them and draw them below. Label the forces, the masses and the distance to each mass from the center (pivot point). A A 1046 QO & O - @4 030% el A 4. Verify with the simulator your predictions and take a snapshot for including at the end of the lab. Show the torque calculations here. For A. For B 4. Draw two examples for balancing a single brick mass on one side with two other brick masses on the other side and label the forces on the diagrams, the masses and the distance to each mass from the center (pivot point). 5. Use the simulation to verify and take a snapshot to include with the lab
