    Torque equilibrium. Where would the masses need to be placed?

    This is the whole problem statement. I apologize, I'm not sure what iteration is. I'm a liberal arts major out of my comfort zone, taking a college algebra-based physics course.

    Torque equilibrium. Where would the masses need to be placed?

    A triple beam balance, like the scales we use every week in lab, works using rotational equilibrium. If a 253 g mass is placed on the pan, 1 cm from the pivot, and there are three masses, 1 g, 10 g, and 50 g masses on the other side can be slid back and forth between 0 cm and 10 cm from the...
