What mass would you hang on the right side of the system in the following figure to balance it—that is, to make the clockwise and counterclockwise torques equal?
Two masses balance on opposite sides of a pivot on a balance beam. The mass on the left is 2.28 cm away from the pivot. The mass on the right is 2.57 cm away from the pivot. The mass on the left is 15.65 grams. What is the mass on the right in grams? Give your answer to two decimal places.
(I) Find the center of mass of the three-mass system shown in Fig. $7-38 .$ Specify relative to the left-hand $1.00-\mathrm{kg}$ mass.
