A uniform rod is suspended from a point , at a variable distance from , as shown. To make the rod horizontal, a mass is suspended from its end . A set of value is recorded. The appropriate variables that give a straight line, when plotted, are:
Solution
Net torque about suspension is zero,
, where,
and it is the equation of straight line with variable and .
