Taking the moment of forces about centre of gravity G is
(1.5) gx = 2.5 g (16 − x)
⇒ 3x = 80 − 5x or 8x = 80 or x = 10 cm

Average distance of the Earth from the Sun is L1. If one year of the Earth = D days, one year of another planet whose average distance from the Sun is L2 will be
A stone falls freely under gravity. It covers distances h1, h2, and h3, in the first 5 seconds, the next 5 seconds and the next 5 seconds respectively. The relation between h1, h2, and h3 is
h1 = 2h2 = 3h3
h2 = 3h1 and h3 = 3h2
h1 = h2 = h3
