To solve the problem step by step, we will first draw the diagram of the arrangement and then calculate the weight of the uniform meter rule. ### Step 1: Draw the Diagram 1. **Draw a horizontal line** to represent the meter rule. Label the left end as point A (0 cm) and the right end as point B (100 cm). 2. **Mark the center of the meter rule** at the 50 cm point. 3. **Indicate the knife edge** support at the 58 cm mark. 4. **Draw an arrow** downward from point A to represent the weight (20 gf) suspended from one end. ...
