    On the Equilibrium of Planes (Ancient Greek: Περὶ ἐπιπέδων ἱσορροπιῶν, romanized: perí epipédōn isorropiôn) is a treatise by Archimedes in two books. The first book contains a proof of the law of the lever and culminates with propositions on the centre of gravity of the triangle and the trapezium .

    Using further postulates of Archimedes, the two weights w,won either side of a fulcrum and of distances d,d(respectively) to the fulcrum are in equilibrium if and only if (*) holds. This is his Law-of-the-lever. Now this is ‘proved’ by Archimedes, subject to his postulates.
