Q: A uniform meter scale of mass 0·24 kg is made of steel. It is kept on two wedges, W1 and W2, in a horizontal position. W1 is at a distance of 0·2 m from one of its ends, while W2 is at distance of 0·4 m from the other end. If the force on the scale is N1 due to W1 and N2 due to W2, then : (take g = 10·0 m s⁻²)
(a)N1 = 1·6 N and N2 = 0·8 N
(b)N1 = 0·8 N and N2 = 1·6 N
(c)N1 = 0·6 N and N2 = 1·8 N
(d)N1 = 1·8 N and N2 = 0·6 N
