Question
The diagram shows a uniform metre rule weighing 100gf, pivoted at its centre O. Two weights 150gf and 250gf hang from the point A and B respectively of the metre rule such that OA = 40 cm and OB = 20 cm. Calculate :
the difference of anticlockwise and clockwise moment
Solution
The difference of anticlockwise and clockwise moment= 6000- 5000= 1000gf cm
