Answer:
Explanation:
1) A fulcrum is a pivot point that plays a central role (not necessarily located at the center) in a lever. The fulcrum of the attached picture has been circled (in blue).
2) The object placed on this lever's measurement tray is balanced by placing it at the center of the tray. This is the standard way of placing objects on any balance.
I think the first blank is "solidity" and second is "object."
