Answer:
The distance of a mass 25g from the pivot is 18cm
Explanation:
Given
[tex]m_1 = 10g[/tex]
[tex]d_1 = 45cm[/tex]
[tex]m_2 = 25g[/tex]
Required
Distance of m2 from the pivot
To do this, we make use of:
[tex]m_1 * d_1 = m_2 * d_2[/tex] --- moments of the masses
So, we have:
[tex]10 * 45= 25* d_2[/tex]
[tex]450= 25* d_2[/tex]
Divide both sides by 25
[tex]18= d_2[/tex]
Hence:
[tex]d_2 = 18[/tex]
