Torque & Rotational Balance

by Anonymous

The same push turns a bolt more or less depending on where and at what angle it is applied.

About this app

Torque and Rotational Equilibrium is an interactive high-school physics learning app built around three visual simulations. Adjust force, lever-arm distance, and angle to explore τ = Fd sinθ, balance a seesaw by comparing weight × distance, and see how a load’s position changes the forces carried by two supports. Step-by-step missions provide concrete targets and immediate feedback as learners manipulate each model.

Use cases

  • High-school students studying torque and rotational equilibrium
  • Teachers demonstrating lever arms and perpendicular force
  • Learners practicing seesaw balance calculations
  • Physics classes exploring support-force distribution
  • Self-study with guided interactive missions

Features

  • Interactive torque simulation with adjustable force, distance, and angle
  • Seesaw model comparing left and right moments
  • Two-support beam model showing the force at each support
  • Displayed equations and calculated torque or support forces
  • Guided missions with reset, next, and completion feedback
