Torque Board

PIRA: 1J40.15

Materials: Orange Hinge Board (Outreach Room), 2 C clamps, 3-4 Wood Pieces, Ladder, Sledge Hammer

This demo is to show a different use for understanding the center of mass. The demo is that the hinge board is able to hold itself up when the sledge hammer is placed in correctly.

There is also a mini version available in the demo room that uses a hammer and a smaller hinge board located on the corresponding PIRA shelf.
