A symmetrical lever with some mass pieces each of which has a weight of 1.0 N.
The lever arms can be read from the coloured rectangles; one rectangle corresponds to 0.10 m. The lever is in balance when the applet is started. You can attach a new mass piece or put it to another place with pressed mouse button. In a similar way you can remove a mass piece by clicking on it.
