Experiment description
The Torque Seesaw experiment uses a seesaw with two movable sphere. When we change either the mass or the distance of the sphere, the seesaw tilts accordingly. This demonstrates how torque depends on both force (from the mass) and the perpendicular distance from the pivot. The heavier mass or greater distance creates more torque, causing the seesaw to rotate.
