Question

11. a 0.12-kg, 50-cm-long uniform bar has a small 0.055-kg mass glued to its left end and a small 0.11-kg mass glued to the other end. the two small masses can each be treated as point masses. you want to balance this system horizontally on a fulcrum placed just under its center of gravity. how far from the left end should the fulcrum be placed?\

Answer 1

The left end should the fulcrum be placed is 29.8 cm.

What is fulcrum?
The lever's pivot point is known as a fulcrum. You probably first came across a fulcrum on the playground, directly beneath the see-saw. Any general prop as well as support was referred to as a fulcrum in the 17th century. Thanks to physics class, it now has more scientific connotations. However, the term "fulcrum" is still frequently used to refer to something that is central to an event or activity, as in "the fulcrum of a debate." Who is the father who arranges everyone's playdates? He serves as the focal point of the playground social group.

counter clockwise moments = clockwise moments
(0.055 kg * x) + (0.120*(x-25)) = 0.110 kg * (50-x)
                  0.055x + 0.12x - 3 = 5.5 - 0.11x
                                              x = 29.8 cm
