a meterstick of uniform density is hung from a string tied at the 11-cm mark. a 0.40-kg object is hung from the zero end of the meterstick, and the meterstick is balanced horizontally. what is the mass of the meterstick?

Respuesta :

The meterstick has a mass of 0.40 kg and is suspended from a string that is knotted at the 11-cm point. A 0.40-kg object is suspended from the meterstick's zero end due to its uniform density.

Mass is a physical body's total amount of matter. It also serves as a gauge for the body's inertia, or resistance to acceleration (change in velocity) in the presence of a net force. The strength of an object's gravitational pull to other bodies is also influenced by its mass. The substance's mass per unit of volume is known as its density (volumetric mass density or specific mass). Although the Latin letter D may also be used, the sign most frequently used for density is (the lower case Greek letter rho). Mass is the mathematical definition of density.

M2 = 0.40 Kg

d =  11cm

m1*g*r1 = m2*g*r1

m1*9.8 = 0.40*9.8

m1 = 0.40 kg
