A 0.20 kg horizontal beam has length L=0.8 m. It is supported by a fulcrum at d=0.55 m from the left end. A 0.15 kg mass ml is suspended at xl=0.15 m from the bar's left end. Another mass mr is suspended at xr=0.65 m from the bar's left end. The system is in equilibrium. How heavy in kg is the mass mr on the right side? Hint: the bar's gravity has a torque if it is not supported by the fulcrum at exactly half way.

Question
A 0.20 kg horizontal beam has length L=0.8 m. It is supported by a fulcrum at d=0.55
m from the left end. A 0.15 kg mass ml is suspended at xl=0.15 m from the bar's left
end. Another mass mr is suspended at xr=0.65 m from the bar's left end. The system
is in equilibrium. How heavy in kg is the mass mr on the right side?
Hint: the bar's gravity has a torque if it is not supported by the fulcrum at exactly half
way.
