    Calculating String Tensions in a Hanging Meter Stick

    A meter stick (L = 1 m) with mass M = 0.409 kg is supported by two strings, one at the 0 cm mark and the other at the 90 cm mark. a) What is the tension in the string at 0 cm? b) What is the tension in the string at 90 cm? c) Now the string at 0 cm is cut. What is the tension in the...
