Q29 / 223 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Rotational Motion

A uniform meter scale of mass 1 kg is placed on a table such that a part of the scale is beyond the edge. If a body of mass 0.25 kg is hung at the end of the scale then the minimum length of scale that should lie on the table so that it does not tilt is

  • A
    90 cm
     
  • B
    80 cm
  • C
    70 cm
  • Correct answer
    D
    60 cm

Solution

If the distance from one end is x then

50-x1=x0.25=x4

200-4x=x⇒x=40 cm

∴ Length on the table =100-40=60 cm

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
