Question

If you put a pencil on one pan of the weighing balance and a geometry box on the other pan. Which side will go down and why?

Answer 1

The pan which contains the pencil will go up and the pan with the geometry box will move down. This happens because the object with more weight will always lift the object with less weight on a weighing balance. Hence the object with more weight will move down and the object with less weight will move up.
