The easiest way to open a heavy door  is by applying the force

• Near the hinges
• In the middle of the door
• At the edge of the door far from the hinges

Two masses of mass 10.0 and 6.0 kg are hung from massless strings at the end of a light rod. The rod is virtually weightless. A pivot (fulcrum) is placed off center and the system is free to rotate. If the 6.0 kg mass is 4.0 m away from the pivot, how far away is the 10.0 kg mass if the system is not rotating?

• 0.42 m

• 2.4 m

• 4.8 m

• 4.2 m
