The body is balanced by a set of weights weighing 100 G, 50 G, 1 G what is the mass of the body.

Given:

m1 = 100 grams is the mass of the first weight;

m2 = 50 grams – the mass of the second weight;

m3 = 1 gram is the mass of the third weight.

It is required to determine M (gram) – the mass of the body, balanced on the scales with all three weights.

Since the condition of the problem is not specified, we consider the body itself and the weights to be material points. Then, the total body weight will be equal to:

M = m1 + m2 + m3;

M = 100 + 50 + 1 = 150 + 1 = 151 grams (0.151 kilograms).

Answer: the mass of a body balanced with weights is 151 grams.
