. The requisites of a good balance are, 1°. That the beam rest in a horizontal position when loadedwith equal weights. 2°. That the balance possess great sensibility.3°. That it possess great stability. 176. Prop. To determine the conditions that the beam rest ina horizontal position when loaded… … 108 T AT IC But taking into consideration the weight of the beam, its cen-ter of gravity must be in the vertical through C, the center ofmotion (Art. 110), and, in order to this, the beam must be sym-metrical on opposite sides of the fulcrum (Art. 97). The lineAB, joining the points of suspension,…
