If a long and heavy pendulum suspended from the high roof above a circular area is monitored over an extended period of time, its plane of oscillation appears to change ...

The chair(s) may be balanced on other objects and/or on just one or two legs while the acrobat(s) themselves may also perform balancing acts on the chair. The chairs used in balance may have notches [ 1 ] cut out or extra pieces of material added to allow them to be stacked at otherwise unstable angles.
Hand balancing may be performed by partners or individuals. In partner hand balancing, a strong bottom mounter supports the top mounter in handstands , planches and other acrobatic poses. In solo hand balancing, a single artist performs handstands, one-hand stands, planches and other equilibristic maneuvers, usually on top of pommels , blocks ...

Instead, the result was originally expressed as the relative density of Earth, [5] or equivalently the mass of Earth. His experiment gave the first accurate values for these geophysical constants.
