For the first experiment, Scale 1 is pulled down with a force of 17.7 N. If Scale 3 is located at the 89.3 cm mark, what is the force that Scale 3 reads? (You will need to subtract 50 cm from the reading on the meterstick to get the lever arm).

Questions 1, 2 and 3 all refer to the same diagram. Note that since numbers are randomized, that it is likely that questions 1, 2, and 3 will use different numbers eyen though they refer to the same experiment Scale 1 is located at the end of the meterstick [at the 0 mark}. Scale 2 supports the meterstick at its center of mass [at the 511} cm mark}. Scale 3 is at a randomized location [not exactly as drawn}, but always between the 50cm mark and the il cm mark. The meterstick has a weight of 1H
