ICSE Class 10 Answered
pls explain this as well as how to solve:A uniform metre rule rests horizontally on a knife edge at the 60 cm mark when a mass of 10 g is suspended from one end.Draw a diagram of the arrangement.
a)at which end must this mass be suspended?
b)what is the mass of the rule?

Expert Answer
Figure shows the uniform meter scale rests on a knife edge placed at 60 cm mark.
Weight of the scale W acts downwards at centre of gravity of scale which is at 50 cm mark
to give anticlockwise moment with respect to knife edge.
To counter balance this anticlockwise moment, 10 g mass is suspened at the right most edge (100 cm mark)
to give clockwise moment.
Anticlockwise moment of weight of scale W about knife edge = W×10 gf-cm
Clockwise moment of suspended 10g mass about knife edge = 10×40 gf-cm
At equilibrium, anticlockwise moment exactly balances clockwise moment. Hence W×10 = 10×40 ..........(1)
from eqn.(1), we get weight of scale W = 40 gf or mass of scale = 40 g
