उत्तर
Principle of moments : If a body is in equilibrium under the action of number of force, then the sum of clockwise moments is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moments.
Sum of clockwise moments = sum of anticlockwise moments
40 x 20 cm = mass of scale x 30 cm
or Mass of scale = `800/30` = 26.7 g

A meter scale is pivoted at its mid point and a 50 g mass suspended from the 20 cm mark. What mass balances the ruler when suspended from 65 cm mark?
A faulty balance of equal arms but pans of unequal weight is used to find the weight of a body. By the method of double weighing the weights are found as 8 kg and 8.2 kg. Find the actual weight of the body.
