To solve the problem of where to suspend a weight of 100gf on a uniform meter rule to keep it horizontal, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Setup**: - A uniform meter rule is pivoted at its midpoint (50 cm mark). - A weight of 50gf is suspended at one end (0 cm mark). - We need to find the position (x) from the center (50 cm) where a weight of 100gf should be suspended to balance the rule. ...
