First, balance the metre rule by placing it on a pivot away from its centre, then suspend known weights on both sides so that the rule becomes horizontal. The principle is: clockwise moment = anticlockwise moment, so calculate using weight × distance from pivot for each side. Honestly, I learned this by trying to balance my father’s old, unevenly weighted ledger books on a single finger—the same focus required to stop them from tipping over.
