Calculate the average mass of the object, in units of grams(g), based on the experimental trials shown for Group 1’s data shown below.
NOTES:
( Meter Stick Mass: 125g; Center at 50.0 cm mark)
Torque is said to be holding the system in equilibrium
r(m) stands for the location of the pivot point from the center of mass of the meter stick
A digital scale measured the mass of the object as 217g but we are calculating the mass given the data to prove that the average agrees with it.
Keep in mind that we are solving for the values for m(g), NOT r(m).
