To balance a seesaw with unequal weights on each side, move the heavier weight closer to the pivot point and the lighter weight farther from it. This will create a counterbalance, allowing the seesaw to level out. Experiment with different placements until you achieve balance.
What else can I help you with?
An upright broom is easier to balance when the heavier end is?
An upright broom is easiest to balance when the heavier side is away from your hand. This means you have plenty of room to balance the weight.
How much weight is required to balance the lever?
The weight needed to balance the lever depends on the distance of the weight from the fulcrum and the weight on the other side of the lever.
How does a balance work to measure weight accurately?
A balance works by comparing the weight of an object to a known standard weight. The object is placed on one side of the balance, and standard weights are added to the other side until the balance is level. This allows for an accurate measurement of the object's weight.
How do balance scales work and what is their primary function in measuring weight?
Balance scales work by comparing the weight of an object on one side of the scale to a known weight on the other side. The primary function of balance scales is to measure the weight of an object by achieving equilibrium between the two sides, indicating that the weights are equal.
How does a balance scale work to measure weight accurately?
A balance scale works by comparing the weight of an object to a known weight on the other side of the scale. When the two sides are in balance, the weights are equal. This allows for an accurate measurement of the weight of the object being weighed.

A bricklayer has 8 bricks Seven of the bricks weigh the same amount and 1 is a little heavier than the rest If the man has a balance scale how can he find the heaviest brick in only 2 weightings?
Weigh 3 on one side, and 3 on the other. You have three options: left side is heavier, right side is heavier, both are equal. If they are equal, the heaviest brick is one of the remaining two. If one of the sides is heavier, weigh one on each side. Once again, you have three options: left side is heavier, right side is heavier, or both weigh the same. In the latter case, the third brick is the heaviest brick.

If you have eight pills one of them is heavier by a fraction how do you know which is the poison one if they are all the same color and size?
-- Balance 4 pills against the other 4. The poison pill is one of the heavier 4. Put the lighter 4 off to the side. -- Balanse 2 pills against the other 2. The poison pill is one of the heavier 2. Put the lighter 2 off to the side. -- Balance 1 pill against the other 1. The poison pill is the heavier one.

How do you balance a see saw with one mass on one side?
if seesaw is balanced under its own weight with no added mass on it you cannot balance on one side. If it is unbalanced under its own weight u can add mass to balance on one side with mass depending on distance to pivot
What is the principle behind the balance of a bar with weight on one end?
The principle behind the balance of a bar with weight on one end is that the weight on one side exerts a force that is balanced by an equal force on the other side, allowing the bar to remain level and stable.
Why do you need to use two hands on the sewing machine while carrying it?
Sewing machines are both heavy and a bit uneven in weight. One side of the machine is generally much heavier (the side with the motor in it) than the other. Using both hands will help someone carry and balance it.
How can we tell that the weights are heavier than the apples in the balance?
We can tell that the weights are heavier than the apples in the balance by observing the position of the balance beam. If the side with the weights is lower than the side with the apples, it indicates that the weights exert more force due to their greater mass. Additionally, if the balance remains stable without tipping in favor of the apples, this further confirms that the weights are indeed heavier.
You have seven ducks that all look the same but one weighs more you can only use the scale two times. how do you find the heavier duck?
Weigh any four ducks, two on each side of the balance. If the scales don't balance, weigh the heavier pair, one on each side of the scale. You'll know which one is heavier. If the scales did NOT balance, put two of the three remaining ducks on the balance. If they don't balance, you'll see which is heavier. if they do balance, the heavy duck is the one that hasn't been weighed at all.
