Question 88799


   A weight of 200 grams is 40 cm from the center support of a stick . Where would a weight of 400 grams balance the stick?

    Distance at which the weight of 200 gms is supported at the centre = 40 cms

    Distance at which the weight of 400 gms is supported at the centre = ? 

                                 i.e, 400*40/200
                                    = 4*40/2
                                    = 80 cms
