Imagine you hold a piece of paper, each hand holding one side of the paper. You let go of the paper with one of the hands. What happens next and why? Describe in detail.
When only one side of the paper is being held by your hands, gravity will cause it to tilt towards that hand. As the weight distribution on both sides of the paper becomes more even (i.e., as your other hand lets go), the balance will tip further towards your free hand until it eventually topples over. The process can be seen as a pendulum-like swing where the heavier side (which is now unbalanced) moves away from your grasp and starts to lean towards the ground while the lighter side remains level.

This effect is due to the law of conservation of angular momentum, which states that an object continues to rotate about its center of mass unless acted upon by external forces. When the force applied to one side of the paper exceeds the counteracting force exerted by gravity, the angular momentum will start to flow towards the side opposite the load, causing the paper to begin tipping over.
