प्रश्न
A meter scale is pivoted at its mid point and a 50 g mass suspended from the 20 cm mark. What mass balances the ruler when suspended from 65 cm mark?
उत्तर
Let mass 'm' be suspended from 65 cm mark so as to balance the metre scale.
In balanced condition.
sum of clockwise moments = sum of anticlockwise moments
50 x (50 - 20) = m x (65 - 50)
or, 50 x 30 = m x 15
or, m = `1500/15` = 100g

The figure shows a uniform metre rule placed on a fulcrum at its mid-point O and having a weight 40 gf at the 10 cm mark and a weight of 20 gf at the 90 cm mark.
- Is the metre rule in equilibrium? If not how will the rule turn?
- How can the rule be brought in equilibrium by using an additional weight of 40 gf?
