Balance (391)

Instruction:
Attach the given weights (and balloons with negative weight, if given) to the mobile at the diamond-shaped attachment points, one at each point, such that the entire mobile balances — that is, at each fulcrum (round black dot), the total torque (weight multiplied by distance from the fulcrum) on both sides of the balance must be the same. Ignore any weight of the rods themselves. Weights (or balloons) may already be attached for you.
