write down the law of moment
Answers
Answer:
total initial momentum = total final momentum..
Explanation:
Answer is in short and easy word..
follow me mate..
When a number of parallel forces act on a rigid body and the body is in equilibrium , then the algebraic sum of the the moments of the individual forces about any point is equal to zero . That is the sum of anticlockwise moments is equal to the sum of clockwise moments.
It is also known as Varignon's theorem.

Metre scale is supported at its centre by a knife edge so that the scale is horizontal.
the unknown weight is suspended on one side of the scale as shown and unknown weight is suspended on the other side.
The two weights are adjusted and position on the scale until the scale remains horizontal (equilibrium position).
Distance between unknown weight and the centre of the scale is noted down similarly distance between the known weight at the centre of scale is also noted down .
From the principle of moments,
