Accepted Answer

To balance something, all you need to do is make sure that the center of gravity of the object is either directly above or directly below the pivot point. An example would be balancing the stick on the end of a finger with the stick pointing vertically up. If you do this you will find that the stick wants to fall over, and you need to keep moving your finger around to keep this from happening.
