A lightweight plastic rod has a mass of 2.0 kg attached to one end and a mass of 2.5 kg attached to the other end. The rod has a length of 1.20 m. How far from the 2.0-kg mass should a string be attached to balance the rod

The distance from the 2.0 kg mass at which a string should be attached to balance the rod is 0.67 m.

To calculate the distance at which the string must be attached to balance the rod, we use the formula below.

Formula:

From the question,

Given

Substitute these values into equation 1

Solve for x

Collect like terms

Hence, the distance from the 2.0 kg mass at which a string should be attached to balance the rod is 0.67 m.

answer would be letter choice (a),   a ball resting on a shelf. would be another example of potential energy   >   stored energy > not moving.

a ball spinning on a finger   >   kinetic energy > moving energy

a ball rolling on the ground   >   kinetic energy   > moving energy

a   ball flying through the air   > kinetic energy   >   moving energy
