Question

A metal rod of uniform thickness and of length $1 m$ is suspended at its $25 c m$ division with the help of a string. The rod remains horizontally straight when a block of mass $2 k g$ is suspended to the rod at its $10 c m$ division from same end. The mass of the rod is:

Solution

The correct option is C $1.2 k g$
Torques balance each other
$\Rightarrow m g (25) = 2 g (15)$
15cm is a distance of the suspended mass from point of suspension
$\Rightarrow 25 m = 30$
$m = \frac{30}{25} = 1.2 k g$
