PhET Simulation: Balancing Act
published by the University of Colorado
In this PhETsimulation, you can investigate how a teeter-totter balances, by moving objects of different masses to various positions. Can you make the teeter-totter balance?

This is one of a large number of physics simulations produced at the University of Colorado in the PhET project.
