2. HOW TO CONSTRUCT IT.

This is what i used:

3 . HOW IT WORKS.

You take the ladder and then you take the traveling block put it on the top of the ladder and push it down. It will go straight and it will rotate around the fix axis.

4. WHAT IS THE PHYSICS BEHIND IT ?

Its related with Equilibrium.

Equilibrium means balanced, the ladder has a center gravity in the center and it helps the traveling block to be balanced, when its balance it goes in a straight line but it can rotate around the fix axis.
