Situational Problem A unitorm, 255-N rod that is 2 m long carries a 225-N weight at its right end and an unknown weight toward the left end as shown in Figure 1. When W is placed 50 cm trom the left end of the rod, the system just balances horizontally when the fulcrum is located 75 cm from the right end. W 225 N Figure 1 Determine "W" Your answer If "W" is now moved 25cm to the right, how far and in what direction must the fulcrum be moved to restore balance?
