Question

If the weight of the ruler is one Newton ,Gc cannot have a value more than 25cm

Answer 1

If the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm.

The given parameters:

• Weight of the ruler = 1 N

What is center of gravity (CG)?

• Center of gravity is the point at which the weight of an object is concentrated.

Let the length of the ruler = L

The center of the gravity of the ruler is calculated as follows;

$X_{CG} = \frac{W(L_0) + W(L -X_{CG})}{W} \\\\X_{CG} = \frac{1(0) + 1(L -X_{CG})}{1}\\\\X_{CG} = L - X_{CG}\\\\X_{CG } + X_{CG} = L\\\\2X_{CG} = L\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{L}{2} \\\\when , \ L = 50 \ cm\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{50}{2} \\\\X_{CG} = 25 \ cm$

Thus, if the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm. This may change if the length of the ruler changes because the center of gravity of uniform ruler depends on the length of the ruler.
