Law of Conservation of Energy.Can anyone explain this example from the Feynman Lectures on Physics?

Explain the following extract from the Feynman lectures so that a 10th grader can understand.Note that I do not want you to explain what conservation of energy is,I just want understand the following extract clearly.Try to be as simple as possible.
Stevinus is a more logic rather than mathmatics. You get the same result as I got below without all the math crap. Look at the picture. Note that the weight of the balls below the triangle pull the chain toward the center. It must be in equlibrium
