Fig. 5 shows a uniform meter scale weighing 200 gf. Provided at its centre. Two weights 300 gf and 500 gf are suspended from the ruler as shown in the diagram. Calculate the resultant torque of the ruler and hence calculate the distance from mid-point where a 100 gf should be suspended to balance the meter scale.

State the units of moment of force.
Two unlike forces (parallel) of 10 N and 25 N act at a distance of 12 cm. from each other. Find the point about which the body balance.
A person standing in front of a cliff fires a gun and hears its echo after 3 s. If the speed of sound in air is 336 ms−1.
- Calculate the distance of the person from the cliff.
- After moving a certain distance from the cliff, he fires the gun again, and this time the echo is heard 1.5 s later than the first. Calculate the distance that the person moved.
