Answer:
20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.
Explanation:
The length of meter stick is 1 m = 100 cm
Balance point on 50 cm
From the center the 20 N weight is 50-20 = 30 cm
Torque is obtained when force is multiplied with the distance
As the force is conserved we have

The distance will be 20 cm to the right of the center or 20+50 = 70 cm from the left side.
Answer:
-2.5 m/s²
Explanation:
The acceleration of a body is the change in it's velocity with time.
The change in velocity with time can be obtained as the slope of a velocity time graph ;
Acceleration = (change in velocity / change in time)
Taking the slope :
Change in Velocity = △y = y2 - y1
Change in time = △x = x2 - x1
(10, 15) ; (0, 40)
△y / △x = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1 = (40 - 15) / (0 - 10)
△y / △x = 25 / - 10 = - 2.5 m/s²
