A metre scale is balanced on a knife edge at its centre. When two coins, each of mass 10 g are put one on the top of the other at the 10 . 0 cm mark the scale is found to be balanced at 40 . 0 cm mark. The mass of the metre scale is found to be x × 10 - 2 kg . The value of x is _____ .

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Let the mass of the scale be m . The centre of mass of the scale will be at 50   cm . Applying torque balance, 0 = m g × 50 - 40 - 2 × 10 g × 40 - 10 ⇒ m = 60   g = 6 × 10 - 2   kg
