1. Determination of weight of an Object usingPrinciple of moments
Aim: To Detenine the Weight of an object by using the Principle of moments.
Apparatus Required: Metre Scale, Thread, Knife edge, Weights.
Formula:
Unknown weight W| =(W2 xd2) / di kg
Known weight -W2, unknown weight-W1 kg wt
Distance of an unknown weight from knife edge-dlm
Distance of a known weight from knife edge - d2m
Procedure:
Ametre scale is supported at its centre of gravity by a knife edge
Known weight (W2) and an unknown weight (W)) are suspended on either side of the scale.
3. Fix the position of the known weight (W2) adjust the position of the
unknown weight(W) until the scale is in equilibrium.
4. Measure the distances d1 & d2.
O. Kepeat the experiment by changing the position of an unknown weight Wl, and tabulate the values of d1
& d2.

Observation:
S.No Known Distance of Distance of W2 X d2 Unknown Weight
weight (W2) known Weight unknown (kgm) W1 = (W2 x d2) /
kg d2 (m) Weight d1 (m) d1 (kgwe)
1 0.5 0.5 0.25 0.25 1
2 0.5 0.4 0.2 0.2 1

Average 1 kgWt
Principle: Clockwise moment (W2 x d2) =Anti clockwise moment (Wlx d1)
Calculation:
Unknown weight W1 =(W2 x d2) / dl kg
d2
WI=W2 x
d1

W1 =(0.5 x 0.5) / 0.25


=0.25 /0.25 = 1kg.

Result : Weight of an unknown Object W] = 1kgWt.
