Procedure: To find center of mass of the ruler Experimental setup: Part A: Prove Sum of Torques - 0 Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 3a Step 1: Gently insert one end of ball bearing at the center of the Styrofoam cup as shown in step 1 Step 2: Apply tape at the center of the ruler followed by placing ruler on the ball bearing, such that the ruler is balanced. Step 3, 3a: Record center of mass, the point where the ruler is balanced is the center of mass of ruler, record the observation (indicated by arrow) The center of mass of the ruler - re . cm= m CHNLES LEON je, o Step 4 Step 4: Hang m, = 50g and m,-100g mass on the ruler with a string (see fig above) followed by gently moving m, or m, left or right on ruler, such that the meter stick is balanced as in step 2 Step 5: Find the distance r, and re from re, record data in observation table below. Example: In figure below, r2=- 20 + 50 - 30 cm, r, - 87 - 50 - 37 cm 60 100 F=mag Styrofoam cup F:-mig Find force Find force F2of the F1 of the hanging hanging mass mass Fig 1: Experimental set up Step 6: Find Force on each end of the ruler by substituting vales for m, and m2 in equation F-mag and F=mag Step 7: Exchange weights m, and mą and repeat from step 4 Step 8: There is no step 8 Distance from Torque center of ruleri= Fr (1cm - 0.01m) Sum of F- mg (N) g- 9.8 m/s² Mass (m) in Kg Obs # Torques (1g-0.001kg) i= 11+ 12 0.05 r = m 1 F2 m2 0.10 : =-m F 0.10 r1 = m m2 0.05 12 = - m Is sum of torque zero?
