Assume the center of gravity of the meter stick (the point atwhich the weight of the entire meter stick seems tobe concentrated) is at the 0.500 m mark. The meter stick ispivoted on a fulcrum at the 0.350 m mark and balanced byplacing a total mass of 80 g at the 0.100 m mark. What is themass of the meter stick in grams?Recall that according to thedefinition of the center of mass (gravity), the mass ofthe meter stick may be treated as though it is all at thecenter of mass.
