Given :
Balances at 40 cm mark.
W₁ = 20 g Suspended at 10 cm
W₂ = 40 g Suspended at 20 cm
To find :
The mass of the metre scale
Solution :
Moment in clockwise direction = W(50 - 40)
= 10W
Moment in anti-clockwise direction = 20(40 - 10) + 40(40-20)
= 20 × 30 + 40 × 20
= 600 + 800
= 1400 g cm
By the law of moment :
Moment in clockwise direction = Moment in anti-clockwise direction
10W = 1400
W = 140g
The mass of the metre scale is 140g.
