A 4 m long rod of negligible weight is supported at a point 125 cm from its one end and a load of 18 kgf is suspened at a point 60 cm from the support on the shorter arm. (a) If a weight W is placed at a distance 250 cm from the support on the longer arm to balance the rod, find W. (b) If a weight 5 kgf is kept to balance the rod, find its position. (c) To which class of lever does it belong ?

The diagram in Fig.1.34 shows a uniform metre rule weighing 100gf, pivoted at its centre O.
