A balance similar to Roman steelyard is down in the figure. G is the position of centre of gravity in the figure . G is theposition of centre of gravity of the beam.Given OG=3 cm, OH =4 cm and OP =5 cm . If the weight of the rider is 60 gf, find the weight of the beam, least count of the balance and the maximum load that can be measured using the balance. |

Answer» Solution : (i) Principleof moments (ii) Working of Roman steel yard (iii) Weight of the beam acts at its position of CENTRE of GRAVITY. (iv) RIDER at zero mark on the SCALE balances the weight of the beam. (v) Distance of the rider from its zero mark on the scale is directlyproportional to the load attached. (VI) Weight of the beam = 100 gf Least count of the balance = 15 gf Maximum load that can be attached = 450 gf |
