A meter stick is balanced on a fulcrum (pivot) and two blocks are hanging off of it. The block with a weight of 10 N is hanging 25 cm to the left of the fulcrum. The other
block, of unknown weight, is hanging 50 cm from the fulcrum. The system is in
equilibrium.
a. Draw a free body diagram of the system.
b. How much torque is the 10 N block creating?
c. How much torque is the other block creating?
d. What is the weight, in Newtons, of the second block?
