Διὰ τί, ὅταν φέρωσιν ἐπὶ ξύλου ἤ τινος τοιούτου δύο ἄνθρωποι ἴσον βάρος, οὐχ ὁμοίως θλίβονται, ἐὰν μὴ ἐπὶ τῷ μέσῳ ᾖ τὸ βάρος, ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον ὅσῳ ἄν ἐγγύτερον ᾖ τῶν φερόντων; Ἥ διότι μοχλὸς μὲν γίνεταιοὕτως ἐχόντωντὸ ξύλον, τὸ δὲ βάρος ὑπομόχλιον, ὁ δὲ ἐγγύτερος τοῦ βάρους τῶν φερόντων τὸ βάρος τὸ κινούμενον, ἄτερος δὲ τῶν φερόντων τὸ βάρος ὁ κινῶν.
