In this simulation we will use the see-saw as an example of torque at work. There are two forces that can be applied to the see-saw to cause it to rotate. The first force is the weight of person 1 and the second force is the weight of person 2. The torque acting on each end is calculated by taking the weight multiplying by the distance from center of the see-saw.
