Answer:

The distance of a mass 25g from the pivot​ is 18cm

Explanation:

Given

[tex]m_1 = 10g[/tex]

[tex]d_1 = 45cm[/tex]

[tex]m_2 = 25g[/tex]

Required

Distance of m2 from the pivot

To do this, we make use of:

[tex]m_1 * d_1 = m_2 * d_2[/tex] --- moments of the masses

So, we have:

[tex]10 * 45= 25* d_2[/tex]

[tex]450= 25* d_2[/tex]

Divide both sides by 25

[tex]18= d_2[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]d_2 = 18[/tex]
