A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 65.5-gram mass is attached at the 21.0-cm
1 answer:
Answer:
113.53 g
Explanation:
Please see attached photo for explanation.
In the attached photo, M is the mass of the meter stick.
The value of M can be obtained as shown below:
Clockwise moment = M × 10.5
Anticlockwise moment = 65.5 × 18.2
Anticlockwise moment = Clockwise moment
65.5 × 18.2 = M × 10.5
1192.1 = M × 10.5
Divide both side by 10.5
M = 1192.1 / 10.5
M = 113.53 g
Thus, the mass of the meter stick is 113.53 g
