A metre stick is balanced on a knife edge at its centre. When two coins, each of mass 5g are put one on top of the other at the 12.0 cm mark, the stick is found to be balanced at 45.0 cm. What is the mass of the metre stick?

Verified by Experts

Since stick is in rotational equilibrium, the total torque of all forces about the resultant .R. is zero.
Taking the turning effects about the point of action of the resultant .R. we have
`10gxx33=mgxx5`
on solving `m=66g`

Ten one-rupee coins are put on top of each other on a table. Each coin has a mass m. Give the magnitude and direction of (a) the force on the 7th coin (counted from the bottom) due to all the coins on its top, (b) the force on the 7th coin by the eighth coin, (c) the reaction of the 6th coin on the 7th coin

A sonometer wire of 70cm length fixed at one end has a solid mass M, hanging from its other end to produce tension in it. The wire produces a certian frequency. When the same mass 'M' hanging in water, it is found that the length of the wire has to be changed by 5 cm. in order to produce the same frequency. Then the density of the material of mass 'M' is
