A balance and torque experiment is conducted with an UN-balanced ruler.
Length of the ruler: 1 m
Mass of the ruler: 149 g
The pivot is at the 32-cm mark.
A 77-g mass is located at the 24-cm mark of the ruler.
We want to balance the ruler by placing another mass at the 11-cm mark.
What should be magnitude of this additional mass?
A balance and torque experiment is conducted with an UN-balanced ruler.
Length of the ruler: 1 m
Mass of the ruler: 97 g
The pivot is at the 61-cm mark.
A 45-g mass is located at the 33-cm mark of the ruler.
We want to balance the ruler by placing a 207-g mass somewhere on the ruler.
At which mark on the ruler should we place the 207-g mass?
