Tracing whether a pivoting object stays balanced or starts to rotate, based on whether clockwise and counterclockwise torques match.

⚖️ Object pivoting about a fixed pointIs total clockwise torque equal to total counterclockwise torque?✅ Net torque = 0 — object is in rotational equilibrium🔄 Net torque ≠ 0 — object begins to rotate🪩 See-saw stays levelHeavier side rotates downwardYesNo
