Suppose a ruler balances at 37.1 cm with a total mass of 170.7 g as the counterweight. If the center of gravity of the ruler is at 50.6 cm, what is the mass of the ruler?
Express your answer to three significant figures and in units of grams
The ruler balances at 37.1 cm mark on the ruler.
The hanging mass (counter weight ) is M = 170.7 gm is at
mark
on the ruler.
( you didn't give me procedure so i take 20 cm mark on the rular )
Center of gravity of ruler is at 50.6 cm mark ,
Mass of ruler is
.
considering the torques about the point where the rules is balanced,
Mg*(37.1 - 20) = mg*(50.6 - 37.1 )
170.7*(37.1 - 20) = m *(50.6 - 37.1)
170.7*17.1 = m*13.5
m = 216.22 gm
Mass of the ruler m = 216.22 gm

A 60 cm ruler, which has 10 g weight, is on the pivot at 19cm point of the ruler. The center of gravity for the ruler is at 29 cm point. You have a 20 g weight to balance the ruler. At what point of the ruler you will hang the weight to make the system equilibrium? (The ruler will not move on the pivot, one mass system) 19 cm @ 29 cm Ruler Length = 60 cm Ruler Ruler...
A uniform meter stick (a ruler 100 cm long) is supported by a fulcrum at its 20 cm mark balances when a 200 g mass is suspended at the 0 cm end. Assume that the center of mass of the meter stick is exactly at its middle, the 50 cm mark. Determine the mass of the meter stick, in grams. Please show your work.

A ruler, balanced at its center point, has two coins placed on it, as shown in the figure. (Intro 1 figure) One coin, of mass M_1= 10g, is placed at the zero mark;the other, of unknown mass M_2, is placed at the 4.7 mark. The center of the ruler is at the 3.0 mark. The ruler is in equilibrium; it is perfectly balanced.[IMG]http://i40.tinypic.com/15cj2g9.jpg[/IMG]http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=15cj2g9&s=5A)Does the pivot point (i.e., the triangle, in the diagram, upon which the ruler balances) exert a force...
