See-Saw Torque
This ExploreLearning Gizmo allows the user to perform experiments with a seesaw lever. Various masses may be placed on the seesaw at different
 locations and the fulcrum shifted in order to balance the lever with equal torque on both sides. Torque data from each trial may be recorded
 via screen shots.
