For a checked AI reconstruction, model equal-width uniform blocks with added loads acting at block centres and the pivot at the drawn boundary after the eighth block. Explain how this differs from the printed key’s assumed 8:2 lever arms. This is a paper model, not a practical balancing experiment.
