Answer:
Required mass of sand is 20 kg
Explanation:
Given:
Mass of the plank = 25 kg
Distance of the Center of gravity of the Plank from the fulcrum =
Distance of the Center of gravity of the sand box from the fulcrum =
Balancing the torque due to the plank and the sand box with respect to the fulcrum
Torque = Force × perpendicular distance
thus, we get
(25 × g) × 0.5 = weight of sand × 0.625
where, g is the acceleration due to gravity
or
(25 × g) × 0.5 = (mass of sand × g) × 0.625
or
mass of sand = 20 kg
<u>Hence, the required mass of the sand is </u><u>20 kg</u>
