Product Description

When the magic hook is placed on the end of a fingertip by itself, it is unstable and normally falls. However, when a belt is attached to the hook with the buckle positioned at the bottom, the complete system becomes surprisingly stable.

You can gently swing the hook and belt from side to side or place it on the edge of a table or door frame. This demonstrates an important principle of physics: an object that is free to rotate remains in stable equilibrium when its centre of mass is positioned below the pivot point.

The hook alone cannot easily maintain this position because its centre of mass is not below the pivot point. Once the belt is added, the combined centre of mass of the hook and belt moves lower, allowing the system to balance in a stable position.

The Balancing Magic Hook is a simple and entertaining way to demonstrate gravity, equilibrium and the centre of mass.
