A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 40.0-gram mass is attached at the 14.0-cm mark, the fulcrum must be moved to the 39.2-cm mark for balance. What is the mass of the meter stick?

103 g

Explanation:

given that

Mass of the attached mass, m = 40 g

Initial distance of balance, x1 = 49.7 cm = 0.497 m

Final distance of balance, x2 = 39.2 cm = 0.392 m

Equilibrium point of attachment, x3 = 14 cm = 0.14 m

To get the mass of the meter stick, we use the relation

M = m.[(x2 - x3) / (x1 - x2)]

And on solving in full, we gave

M = 40.[(0.392 - 0.14) / [0.497 - 0.392)]

M = 40(0.258 / 0.105)

M = 40 * 2.457

M = 102.8 g

Therefore the needed work good for mass of the stick j

Is 103 g

when insulating materials rub against each other, they may become electrically charged . electrons , which are negatively charged, may be 'rubbed off' one material and on to the other. the material that gains electrons becomes negatively charged. the material that loses electrons is left with a positive charge.
