Question: The experimental setup should be in equilibrium initially without any load. The setup is given such that - the pivot point is at 4 0

The experimental setup should be in equilibrium initially without any load. The setup is given such that - the pivot point is at 40 mm position (left side of 0 mm ), load F1 is at 120 mm position, load F2 is at 40 mm position (right side of the pivot point), and load F3 is at 155 mm position (far right). There is a mass of 50 gram already there on far-left side (FI) to make it in equilibrium initially.
1- Record the following data:
d1(mm)=,d3(mm)=195m
d1(m)=.08mm,d2(mm)
Now hang a mass of 220 gram to the far left (F1) and 60 grams to the far right (F3), and find the masses for load F 2 that will make the setup back to equilibrium again.
Mass, m2(gram)=379 Mass, m2(kg)=-.937Load( experimental)F2( Newton )=
2- Apply equilibrium of moment equation ??M0=0 about the pivot point and use g=9.81ms2 to calculate: Mass, grams
The experimental setup should be in equilibrium
