Jacob's Ladder!

Introduction

The way this odd contraption works is that it moves according to center of mass. When it has found its center of mass it stays still, but as long as it is not at equilibrium it will drop its second to last block to push the one under it until it finds its center of mass and is left at equilibrium.

Principle

Torque

• Torque(Meter newtons) = force (Newtons) X Distance (meters)

Materials
