# Olympiad: forces, floating and machines ★★★, sentence 1

<!-- .ven lang=en -->
Many puzzles take a rule you know into a new place: a seesaw, a wheelbarrow and a nutcracker are all levers, so one rule, far from the pivot is easier, cracks all three.

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Many puzzles, you, seesaw, one rule · **What happens:** take, know, be, crack · **To what, where:** rule, new place, levers, three · **Speech:** someone speaks here

<!-- .vabout -->
This is a sentence of the lesson «Olympiad: forces, floating and machines ★★★» of the physics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (Many puzzles, you, seesaw, one rule), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

**The tree:** Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): no change. **The frames** are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (`prag`) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
