What is a Counter Balance Weight?

A counterbalance weight is a weight that, when placed at a certain distance, equals the same torque as another object at a different distance from the fulcrum. It is used to balance the torque and maintain equilibrium.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ CBW = \frac{50 \cdot 2}{1} = \frac{100}{1} = 100 \, \text{kg} \]

The Counter Balance Weight is 100 kg.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ CBW = \frac{30 \cdot 3}{2} = \frac{90}{2} = 45 \, \text{kg} \]

The Counter Balance Weight is 45 kg.
