A uniform meter scale is supported from its $20\ cm$ mark. A body suspended from $10\ cm$ mark keeps the scale horizontal. However, the scale gets unbalanced if the body is completely immersed in water. To regain the balance the body is shifted to the $8\ cm$ mark. Therefore, the specific gravity of the material of the body is

A uniform metal plate shaped like a triangle $A B C$ has a mass of $540 \,g$. The length of the sides $A B, B C$ and $C A$ are $3 \,cm , 5 \,cm$ and $4 \,cm$, respectively. The plate is pivoted freely about the point $A$. What mass must be added to a vertex, so that the plate can hang with the long edge horizontal?

A light rod of length $200\,cm$ is suspended from the ceiling horizontally by means of two vertical wires of equal length tied to its ends. One of the wires is made of steel and is of cross-section $0.1\,cm^2$ and the other of brass of cross-section $0.2\,cm^2$ . Along the rod at which distance a weight may be hung to produce equal stresses in both the wires?
