Shown in the figure is a rigid and uniform one-meter-long rod $AB$ held in a horizontal position by two strings tied to its ends and attached to the ceiling. The rod has a mass $m$ and another weight of mass $2m$ is hung at a distance of $75\, cm$ from $A$. The tension in the string at $A$ is $....mg$.

$A$ false balance has unequal arms. An object weighs $X$ when placed in one pan and $Y$ when placed in the other pan. The true weight $W$ of the object is equal to:

Two men are carrying a uniform bar of length $L$ on their shoulders. The bar is held horizontally such that the younger man gets $(1/4)^{th}$ of the total load. Suppose the younger man is at one end of the bar,what is the distance of the other man from the other end?

State the principle of moments for a lever.

$A$ $V$-shaped rigid body has two identical uniform arms. What must be the angle between the two arms,so that when the body is hung from one end,the other arm is horizontal?

$A$ rod of mass $M = 1 \ kg$ and length $L = 1 \ m$ is suspended horizontally by two ideal strings as shown in the figure. The strings are attached at a distance of $1/3 \ m$ from each end. First, a mass $m_1$ is suspended from the left end while keeping the rod horizontal. Then, a second mass $m_2$ is suspended from the right end, again keeping the rod horizontal. What is the maximum total mass $(m_1 + m_2)$ that can be suspended in this way while maintaining the horizontal orientation of the rod?
