Αἴτιον δὲ τοῦ σαλεύεσθαι μᾶλλον, ὅτι τῆς αὐτῆς κινήσεως οὔσης μεθίσταται τὰ ἄκρα, ὅσῳπερ ἂν μακρότερον τὸ ξύλον. Ὄ μὲν γὰρ ὦμος κέντρον, ἐφ’ οὖ τὸ Α (μένει γὰρ τοῦτο), αἱ δὲ Α Β καὶ Α Γ αἱ ἐκ τοῦ κέντρου. Ὄσῳ δ’ ἂν ᾖ μεῖζον τὸ ἐκ τοῦ κέντρου ἢ τὸ Α Β ἢ καὶ τὸ Α Γ, πλέον μεθίσταται μέγεθος. Δέδεικται δὲ τοῦτο πρότερον.
