Homework Statement
Suppose the ruler in procedure 2 is asymetrical, and it is balanced at the 40.9 cm mark (at the center of mass). Now, mass M is hung on the ruler at the 100 cm mark. Where must you hang mass 1.42M so the system remains in equilibrium?
At the ... cm mark

The Attempt at a Solution
I think it goes this way...
1.42Mg(x) = Mg(100 - 40.9) where x is the distance from the 0 cm mark
Then, I get x ≈ 41.6 cm, but it's marked incorrect.
