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 :Force is exerted by the Earth on the rock is 280 N .
Given :
Mass of rock falling falling , m = 28 kg .
Acceleration due to gravity , .
We need to find the force exerted by the earth on the rock .
Let force exerted be F .
Now , we know by Newton's Law Of Motion .
F = ma .......( 1 )
Here , m is mass and a is acceleration in this case it is .
Putting all these value in equation( 1 ) we get ,
Therefore, this is the required solution .
