How do I find the length X? Question C.
Have you got any working or tried to do the question? I'd advise to take moments if you haven't tried yet

I've tried and I got 25 cm but the book says 10 cm.

Can you post your working, please? I believe you added the 2 0.1N forces together to get 0.2N, which is partially correct
(edited 7 years ago)
moment is force times distance
the anticlockwise moment is 0.2N x 5 cm
the clockwise is 0.1 N x ycm
and those numbers equal each other as the system is balanced
( i think, i was never good at mechanics)
