$A$ metre scale is supported on a wedge at its centre of gravity. $A$ body of weight '$W$' is suspended from the $20 \text{ cm}$ mark and another weight of $25 \text{ g-wt}$ is suspended from the $74 \text{ cm}$ mark to balance it, and the metre scale remains perfectly horizontal. Neglecting the weight of the metre scale, the weight of the body is: (in $\text{ g-wt}$)

$A$ non-uniform bar of weight $W$ is suspended at rest by two strings of negligible weight as shown in the figure. The angles made by the strings with the vertical are $36.9^{\circ}$ and $53.1^{\circ}$ respectively. The bar is $2 \; m$ long. Calculate the distance $d$ of the centre of gravity of the bar from its left end.
