Three masses are attached to a uniform meter stick which is
balanced on a fulcrum at the 40-cm mark.
The meter stick has a mass of 140 g, there is a 160-g mass at the
10-cm mark, and there is a 50-g
mass at the 70-cm mark.
a) How much mass would be necessary to balance the system if it
must be placed at the 90-cm
mark?
b) Could a 60-g mass balance the system? If so, where on the meter
stick would it need to be
placed?
