A uniform metre rule rests horizontally on a knife-edge at the 60 cm mark when a mass of 10 gram is suspended from one end. At which end must this mass be suspended? What is the mass of the rule?
Assertion & Reasoning
- Assertion: The sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.
- Reason: The principle of conservation of momentum is valid if the external force on the system is zero.
