What is meter stick?

A meter stick is a length measurement tool used to measure lengths in meters or centimeters.

Let m be the mass of the meter stick.

50 g mass is placed on 90 cm mark is balance at 64.32 cm mark. Take moments about the 64.32 cm mark.

Anticlockwise torque = clock wise torque

m x (64.32 - 50) = 50 x (90 - 64.32)

m x 14.32 = 50 x 25.68

m = 89.665 g

Thus, the mass of the meter stick is 89.665 g.
