Let us assume the meter scale length is L for the calculation purpose.
Let K be the mass of the scale per unit length, K = M/L.
Consider a small segment dl at a distance l from the hinge as shown in figure. 
It can be seen from figure the segment dl is raised by a height l/2 .
 
potential energy dU of the segment dl is given by, dU = K×dl×g×( l /2 ) = K×(g/2)×l×dl
 
potential energy of the full metre-scale is given by

begin mathsize 12px style U space equals space integral d u space equals space K cross times g over 2 integral subscript 0 superscript L l cross times d l space equals space K cross times g over 2 cross times L squared over 2 space equals M over L cross times g over 2 cross times L squared over 2 equals space 1 fourth M cross times g cross times L end style
Let us substitute the values for M, g and L  ; U = (1/4)×600×10-3 ×10×1 = 1.5 J
