• High-heeled shoeRelated: Elevating the heel changes how the wearer balances over the supporting foot.

• JengaRelated: Removing a block shifts the tower’s balance point and can tip it beyond its base.

• KneelingRelated: Shifting the torso changes balance over the knees and supporting feet.

• Physical objectRelated: It lets mechanics model an extended object’s translation as motion of a single point.

• Plumb bobRelated: The bob's mass distribution affects its balance and resistance to disturbance.

• Rocking horseRelated: Its position relative to the rockers affects balance and the ease of rocking.
