13. A uniform metre scale weighing 100 gf is pivot at a point O, a 25 cm mark. A 80 gf weight is hung from 10 cm mark and a 30 gf weight is hung from 70 cm mark as shown in the figure. Calculate (a) the total anticlockwise moment about point O, (b) the total clockwise moment about point O and (c) the net resultant moment.

➡️ A uniform metre scale weighing 100 gf is pivot at a point O, a 25 cm mark. A 80 gf weight is hung from 10 cm mark and a 30 gf weight is hung from 70 cm mark as shown in the figure. Calculate (a) the total anticlockwise moment about point O, (b) the total clockwise moment about point O and (c) the net resultant moment??
Answer✔
➡️ (I) Total anticlockwise moment about 0
=150gf×40cm=6000gfcm
(II) Total clockwise moment about 0
=250gf×20cm=5000gfcm
(III) The difference of anti-clockwise and clockwise moment
=6000−5000=1000gfcm
(IV) From the principle of moments,
anti-clockwise moment=clockwise moment
To balance it, 100gf weight should be kept on right hand side so as to produce a clockwise moment about the 0.
Let its distance from the point 0 be dcm
Then, 150gf×40cm=250gf×20cm+100gf×d
6000gfcm=5000gfcm+100gf×d
⇒1000gfcm=100gf×d
∴d=
100gf
1000gfcm
=10cm on the right side of 0
