Answer:
Explanation:
The weight will act from the middle point downwards . The balancing point will be shifted from middle point by distance x towards the heavy weight that is 15 N .
Taking torque about the balancing point
6 x + 10 ( .5 + x ) = 15 ( .5 - x )
6x + 5 + 10x = 7.5 - 15 x
31 x = 2.5
x = .08 m
The balance point will be at .08 m away from middle point of the rod towards the force of 15 N .
