Homework Statement
I have a 100cm beam with the fulcrum at the 20cm point. At the 0cm point is 300g which puts the beam into balance.
Homework Equations
How can I find the total weight of the beam and the torque due to the weight of beam using the given information.
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm so lost, I've been trying to figure this out for a week, I can't grasp how to solve for the weight. I know the center of gravity plays a part, but I'm just so numb at this point, I've become quite frustrated with myself.
