arm of the steelyard must be graduated. Let G be the center of gravity of the beam AB and w itsweight. Put OA=jo, OC=pl, OG=g, and taking momentsabout the fulcrum O, in case of equilibrium we .have Wp — Wg— Pj9 j = 0. wg WpTaking Ox, a fourth proportional to P, w, and g, we have Hence the distance… … 182. This balance is represented b\the annexed figure, where ABC is thebent lever turning about a pivot at B.A scale (E) hangs from A, and at C anindex points to some division on thegraduated arc GCF. 183.
