A uniform meter scale of mass 0.24 kg is made of steel. It is kept on two wedges, W₁ and W₂, in a horizontal position. W₁ is at a distance of 0.2 m from one of its ends, while W₂ is at a distance of 0.4 m from the other end. If the force on the scale is N₁ due to W₁ and N₂ due to W₂, then : (take g = 10.0 m s⁻²)
N₁ = 1.6 N and N₂ = 0.8 N
N₁ = 0.8 N and N₂ = 1.6 N
N₁ = 0.6 N and N₂ = 1.8 N
N₁ = 1.8 N and N₂ = 0.6 N
