(b) The weight of the metre rule is 1.2 N and can be considered to act at the 50 cm mark. All the weights in (a) are removed. The pivot is positioned under the 30 cm mark and the 2.0 N load is placed on the rule as shown in picture. 2.0N 30 cm A pivot 50 cm 1.2N.
The position of the 2.0 N load is adjusted until the metre rule is again in equilibrium. Determine the position of the 2.0 N load. 2.0 N load is at the cm mark
