Answer
(a) Let W be the weight of the rod.
For uniform meter rod, its weight acts at 50 cm.
Clockwise moments = [200 x (95-70)] = 200 x 25 = 5000 Nm
Anticlockwise moments = [50 x (70 - 40)] + [W x (70 - 50)]
= [50 x 30] + [W x 20]
= 1500 + 20W
(b) According to principle of moment :
Anticlockwise moment = Clockwise moment
1500 + 20W = 5000
W = = 175 N
Hence, weight of meter rod = 175 N
As W = 175 N, hence, anticlockwise moment = 1500 + 20W = 1500 + (20 x 175) = 1500 + 3500 = 5000
Hence, anticlockwise moment = 5000 Nm
