We must place the pivot to keep the meter stick in balance at 90 cm (10 cm from the weight) from the free end.

Option B

Explanation:

In initial stage, the meter stick’s mass and mass hanged in meter stick at one end are same. Refer figure 1, the mater stick’s weight acts at the stick’s mid-point.

If in case, the meter stick is to be at balanced form, then the acting torques sum would be zero. So,

$m \times g \times(x)+((m \times g)(x-50 \mathrm{cm}))=0$

$(m \times g \times x)-(50 \times m \times g)+(m \times g \times x)=0$

Taking out ‘mg’ as common and we get

2 x-50=0

2 x=50

$x=\frac{50}{2}=25 \mathrm{cm}$

Hence, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of,

$x^{\prime}=100 \mathrm{cm}-25 \mathrm{cm}=75 \mathrm{cm}$

So, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of 75 cm at the free end

Now, replace mass with another mass. i.e., four times the initial mass (as given)

If in case, the meter stick is to be at balanced form, then the acting torques sum would be zero. So,

4 m g(x)+(m g)(x-50 c m)=0

4 m g x+m g x-50 m g=0

Taking out ‘mg’ as common and we get

5 x=50

$x=\frac{50}{5}=10 \mathrm{cm}$

Hence, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of,

$x^{\prime}=100 \mathrm{cm}-10 \mathrm{cm}=10 \mathrm{cm}$

So, the stick should be pivoted at a distance of 10 cm from the free end.

Therefore, the option B is correct 90 cm (10 cm from the weight).

answer;

d. are made mostly of liquid

explanation;

-the general composition and structure planets includes; they have a thick gas and liquid layer covering a small,solid core. mostly the gases are hydrogen and helium atmosphere and layers of liquid hydrogen. for instance neptune and uranus are examples of the outer planets, they have a core covered by ice and ammonia.

-neptune's atmosphere is hydrogen and helium with a bit of methane so there is no oxygen to breath and the interior is made up of frozen water and ammonia with a rock and iron core. thus, there is no liquid water or solid surface to survive.

as we probably am aware that our atmosphere or air have various levels, each level has different gasses, and each gas has another porousness. at the point when the light originates from lower porousness to higher penetrability, it alters its course. with the goal that implies that when the light originates from the moon to the earth, it alters it's course a lot more occasions. it essentially implies that the state of the light piece of the moon is changed on the earth.
