A uniform metre rule is balanced on a fulcrum placed at the 35cm mark by suspending a mass of 120g at the 10cm mark. Calculate the mass of the metre rule.

A.

60g

B.

80g

C.

120g

D.

200g

Correct answer is D

Clock-wise moment = Anti-clock wise

Hence 120 × (35−10)= Xg ×(50−35)

120 × 25 = Xg × 15 

Xg = 200g
