A 75.0g meter stick initially balances on a fulcrum at the 49.1cm mark. The fulcrum is then moved to the 65.0 cm mark and the following 3 masses are attached to the meter stick at the positions given and the meter stick is balanced. What the is position on the meter stick of Mass 3?

Mass 1 = 50g, position = 75 cm mark

Mass 2 = 20g, position = 15 cm mark

Mass 3 = 55g, position = ?

* posted this question before but it did not show enough work for me to understand the problem * * pls answer clearly with enough work *

Consider a ‘physical pendulum’ made of a meter stick (length L = 1 m, mass 0.2 kg) with a hole drilled through it at the 5 cm mark. The stick is free to rotate (in a vertical plane) around a nail that goes through the hole and into a wall. Assume no friction between the nail and the hole. The stick’s moment of inertia about the nail is I=0.1 kgm2. (Use g=10 m/s2) If the pendulum is released from rest...
