A meter stick is supported by a pivot at its center of mass. Assume that the meter stick is uniform and that the center of mass is at the 50 cm mark. a) If a mass m1 = 80 g is suspended at the 30 cm mark, at which cm mark would a mass m2 = 110 g need to be suspended for the system to be in equilibrium?
b) If a mass m1=80g is suspended at the 25cm mark,and a mass m2 =110g is suspended at the 60 cm mark, from what cm mark would a mass m3 = 45 g need to be suspended for the system to be in equilibrium?

a) 800N ร— 20 cm = 1100N ร— x cm

16000= 1100x

x= 14.5

therefore it must be placed on the (50 + 14.5)cm mark

= 64.5 cm mark

b) 800N ร— 25 cm = (1100N ร— 10 cm)+(450N ร— x cm)

20000 = 11000 + 450x

450x = 9000

x = 20 cm

therefore it must be placed on the (50 + 20)cm mark

= 70 cm mark
