Counter balanced is a term used to describe something that is in equilibrium or has equal weight on opposite sides. Its antonyms refer to the absence of balance or stability. Unbalanced, imbalanced, unstable, and uneven are all antonyms that can be used to describe something that is not counter balanced. These terms imply a lack of steadiness, symmetry, or proportion, which can lead to wobbling, tipping, or falling. Thus, counterbalanced objects, such as weights, scales, or mechanisms, need to be carefully designed to ensure optimal stability and precision. Without counterbalance, control and accuracy are compromised, and the risk of accidents or errors increases.
