A uniform, 254-N rod that is 1.89 m long carries a 225-N weight at its right end and an unknown weight W toward the left end (see the figure (Figure 1)). When W is placed 42.0 cm from the left end of the rod, the system just balances horizontally when the fulcrum is located 69.2 cm from the right end.
A) Find W.
B) If W is now moved 29.3 cm to the right, how far must the fulcrum be moved to restore balance?
C) If W is now moved 29.3 cm to the right, in what direction must the fulcrum be moved to restore balance?
