The half-meter rule (easy math) is 0.5 meters or 50 centimeters since a meter is 1 meters long, which is equivalent to 100 centimeters. Therefore, we shall apply the 50 cm rule.
A 50 cm rule's center of mass is now 25 cm away.
Additionally, according to the data, the object is pivoted at 15 cm, while the 40 g object is hung at 2 cm from the rule's beginning. Using a straightforward formula, we can compare the two situations: the distance from the pivot to the center of the mass times the mass of the 40 g object divided by 2 cm must equal the distance from the pivot to the center of the mass times mass of the 10 x g object
The result of the straightforward computation must be 52g.
Most simplified version:
the center of mass of the rule is at the 25 cm mark
⇒ [tex]40 g * (15 cm - 2 cm)[/tex]
⇒ [tex]= M * (25 cm - 15 cm)[/tex]
