The gravitational force due to the weight of the meter stick will be acting at the midpoint of the meter stick ie. at 0.5 m. The point about which the stick is balanced at 0.25 m. Hence we can write the moment equation about the 0.25 m point as (Considering the perpendicular distance of the force from the point where the ruler is balanced).
Therefore the mass of the ruler is also 1 kg.

Three masses are attached to a uniform meter stick, as shown in the figure. The mass of the meter stick is 0.5 kg and the masses to the left of the fulcrum are m - 4.8 kg and my 4.8 kg. Find the mass my need to be attached to the right end of the stick to balance the system. 30 cm 40 cm 30 cm
4) A 1 meter-long, funny-shaped meter stick has an unknown mass but a center of gravity located at 0.75 m from the left end. When a metal wedge is placed at the middle of the bar and a .50-kg mass is hung from the left end, the bar balances perfectly on the metal wedge. a) Determine the mass of the funny-shaped meter stick (10 pts). b) Calculate the amount of upward force provided by the metal wedge (10 pts).
Please help thank you! Three masses are attached to a uniform meter stick, as shown in the figure. The mass of the meter stick is 0.5 kg and the masses to the left of the fulcrum are m = 4.4 kg and m2 = 4.8 kg. Find the mass my need to be attached to the right end of the stick to balance the system - 30 cm 40 cm - 30 cm A wheel rotates without friction about a...
A uniform meter stick is balanced with the pivot located at the 60 cm mark. And a mass of 50 grams placed at the 85 cm mark. What is the mass of the meter stick?
A uniform meter stick of mass $M$ has a half-filled can of fruit juice of mass $m$ attached to one end. The meter stick and the can balance at a point 19.6 cm from the end of the stick where the can is attached. When the balanced stick-can system is suspended from a scale, the reading on the scale is 2.59 N. A.)Calculate the mass of the meter stick. B.)Calculate the mass of the can of juice.
A uniform meter stick of mass M is pivoted on a hinge at one end and held horizontal by a spring with spring constant k attached at the other end. If the stick oscillates up and down slightly, what is its frequency? [Hint: Write a torque equation about the hinge.]
4) A 1 meter-long, funny-shaped meter stick has an unknown mass but a center of gravity located at 0.75 m from the left end. When a metal wedge is placed at the middle of the bar and a .50-kg mass is hung from the left end, the bar balances perfectly on the metal wedge. a) Determine the mass of the funny-shaped meter stick (10 pts). b) Calculate the amount of upward force provided by the metal wedge (10 pts). 5)...
A mass of 1 kg is located at the O-cm end of the meter stick. If the meter stick is suspended at center, what mass must be placed at the 75-cm mark to balance the stick?
One end of a uniform meter stick is placed against a vertical wall as shown in (Figure 1) . The other end is held by a lightweight cord that makes an angle θ with the stick. The coefficient of static friction between the end of the meter stick and the wall is 0.38.What is the maximum value the angle θ can have if the stick is to remain in equilibrium?Let the angle between the cord and the stick is θ...
A uniform wooden meter stick has a mass of m = 799 g. A clamp can be attached to the measuring stick at any point Palong the stick so that the stuck can rotate freely about point P, which is at a distance d from the zero-end of the stick as shown. Part (a) Calculate the moment of inertia in kg-m of the meter stick if the pivot point P is at the 50-cm mark. Part (b) Calculate the moment of inertia...
