Two objects of masses 20 kg and 8 kg are hung from the ends of a stick that is 70 cm long and has marks every 10 cm, as shown. ABCDEFG 10 20 30 40 50 60 20 kg 8 kg If the mass of the stick is negligible, at which of the points indicated should a cord be attached if the stick is to remain horizontal when suspended from the cord? 1. E 2. F 3. B 4. G 5. A 6. C 7. D

Respuesta :

Option 3. is the correct answer.

Mass of object 1 at one end = 20 kg

Mass of object 2 at the other end = 8 kg

The total length of a stick = 70 cm  

The mass of the stick is negligible

As we know that x =  m₁x₁+m₂x2/m₁ + m₂  

x = 20(0) + 8(70)/20 + 8  

As the first object is at the start so distance is equal to 0

x = 20 cm

Point B is the point from which the stick remains horizontal when suspended from the cord.
