DATA AND RESULTS Diagram A Diagram B (Computation of the distance of F2) 48 cm = center T1= (F1) (d1) = (0.1kg) (9.8 m/s²) (0.38m) = 0.37 N-m T2= (F2) (d2) = (0.2kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.19m) = 0.37 N-m Torque 1 and Torque 2 are equal. Therefore, we are mathematically correct in diagram B. Diagram C (Computation of the weight of meter stick) T1= (F1) (d1) = (0.1kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.15m) = 0.147 N-m or 0.15 N-m T2= (F2) (d2) = (0.2kg) (9.8m/s²) (0.12m)
