A4 practical: Balanced beam (Geogebra)

In this exercise you will construct a GeoGebra simulation to show when the torques on a beam are balanced. First we will consider the simple case of a beam with no mass.To enable the pivot to be moved you need to define its position with a sliderThe forces will be displayed as vectors but before these can be added you must define the beginning and end with points.Use the same method to add a second force.
