Where is the balanced rock located on a map of Idaho?
The balanced rock in Idaho is located in Buhl, Idaho, near Twin Falls in south central Idaho. This is only about 50 miles (80 km) north of the three-way border of Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. This is an impressive natural formation, 48 feet tall on a base just 1.5 feet x 3 feet. It is not as precariously "balanced" as it appears. There are hard rocks in the base still jutting into the wider upper rock, and concrete has been added to limit it from shifting.
How are pedestal rock formed?
A rock pedestal is formed by sand and wind erosion, due to the harder rock being at the top of the formation, it erodes slower giving you the 'v' shape

A rock pedestal is formed by sand and wind erosion, due to the harder rock being at the top of the formation, it erodes slower giving you the 'mushroom' shape
How pedestal rock formed?
Pedestal rocks are usually formed in desert, when wind erosion wears away softer rock under-laying a harder rock. The harder rock is eroded at a slower rate than the softer rock.
Forces are balanced when the net force is equal to a certain number of newtons. What is that number?
Two forces are balanced when they both have the same number of Newtons, eg. if a rock is placed on the ground, the rock will push down with a force of around 10 Newtons, say, and the ground will push back up with an equal force. this means that the rock will not sink into the floor, but it will also not start to rise off of the ground.

What if a force is applied but nothing happens?
The force of friction is equal in magnitude to the applied force and opposite in its direction. The force of friction may also increase if you increase the applied force, up to a certain limit.
The rock has a mass of 3 kg What is the mass of the measuring stick if it is balanced by a support force at the one-quarter mark?
3 kg

It doesnt have one because Idaho Fails
What is the largest balanced rock?
There is a balanced rock in Arches national Park, Utah USA and I believe it is the largest?
When you are sitting on a rock what force acts on you?
-- The force of gravity of your bottom against the rock, in the downward direction. -- The 'reaction' force of the rock against your bottom, in the upward direction. Since the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, their vector sum is zero. Some would describe this situation as "The forces on your bottom are balanced." In any case, the 'net' force on your bottom is zero, and your bottom therefore does not accelerate.
