Question

An ideal meter stick is balanced on a pencil which is at the 60 cm mark. A 6 gram mass sits at the 90 cm mark. What is the mass of the meter stick?

Again, I have the answer and it is 18g. I have no clue where to even begin with this questions. Thank you in advance.

the center of mass of the stick is at the 50 cm mark ... 10 cm from the balance point

the 6 g is 30 cm from the balance

10 * m = 30 * 6
