$A$ right triangular plate $ABC$ of mass $m$ is free to rotate in the vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis through $A$. It is supported by a string at $B$ such that the side $AB$ is horizontal. The reaction at the support $A$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{mg}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{2mg}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{mg}{2}$
  • D
    $mg$

$A$ 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 $\text{ g-wt}$)
