A meter stick is supported by a knife-edge at the 50-cm mark. If you hangs masses of 0.50 kg and 0.75 kg from the 25-cm and 80-cm marks, respectively. Where should you hang a third mass of 0.25 kg to keep the stick balanced?

the third mass should be placed at x3=0.1m=10cm from the left to keep the stick balanced.

A meter stick on a horizontal frictionless table top is pivoted at the 80-cm mark. A force F1 = 5 N is applied perpendicularly to the end of the stick at 0 cm, as shown. A second force F2 (not shown) is applied at the 100-cm end of the stick. The stick does not rotate. a) What is the torque (magnitude and sign) about the pivot from F1? b) Explain why the torque from the pivot about itself is zero....

1) A meter stick is placed in a support stand and balanced at its center of gravity. A 50 gram mass is placed at the 25.00 cm mark. An unknown mass is placed on the other side of the meter stick and moved until the entire system is balanced. If the unknown mass is placed at the 75.00 cm mark, then what is the value of the unknown mass? Ignore the mass of the knife-edge clamps and assume that...

A thin stick of length 80.0 cm and mass 120.0 g has two small spherical masses attached to its opposite ends (treat them as point masses). One mass is 20.0 g and the other mass is 50.0 g. The stick rotates frictionlessly about a horizontal axis passing through its centre. If the stick starts from rest in a horizontal position, what is the linear speed of the larger spherical mass at the moment that it is passing through its lowest...
