The heaviest part of the set up is the head of the hammer. As the hammer head is pulled down by gravity, it causes a torque pushing the handle up into the end of the rule, which pushes the other end of the ruler against the table. As long as the hammer head is right below the pivot point (under the table), the system will remain perfectly balanced.
