I'm making this post for @InnaT, but I'll be happy if you all join the discussion.. Many times you've seen a bunch of rocks stacked just like that, but sometimes into shapes or chimneys, that your mind stops, how is this possible?

This is my job.. Not so impossible But still amazing piece of practise.. 😁This is my job.. Not so impossible But still amazing piece of practise.. 😁

🤷‍♂️If you want to start with this, you will have to use basic physical principles: center of gravity and counterweight.

🎯The center of gravity is basically the place or point where there is an equal amount of weight on all sides. So any time you want to balance something, you're actually going to have to find its center of gravity. To balance a rock, the Center of Gravity must be directly above where it touches the underlying rock. 

If your rock tower has one small rock at the bottom and you're trying to balance the bigger rock on top to hold the bigger rock, just place it so that its center of gravity is over the smaller rock, the area of ​​contact. This is easier said than done. This is where balance comes into play.

This is finally not my job.. 😂This is finally not my job.. 😂

🤭If you want one stone to stick out at an odd angle, the center of gravity of that stone does not have to be above the contact area, but you can place the second stone on the other side so that the center of gravity of both rocks combined is above the contact area. This is how they will balance each other.

And of course, you can try to balance almost everything.. Good example is this guy:😂🤭

🤪So I'm waiting for your photos and videos from balancing something ..
