13098 5 A pivot is placed under the centre of a non-uniform wooden pole and the pole tilts as shown in Fig. 5.1. Fig. 5.1 (a) (i) How can you tell from the diagram that the pole is non-uniform? [1] (ii) On Fig. 5.1, mark a possible location for the centre of gravity of the pole. Label this point X. [1] (iii) Describe how the position of the centre of gravity could be located. [2] 13098 (b) Assume the position of the centre of gravity of the wooden pole is known. Using a mass of known value and the arrangement shown in Fig. 5.1, describe an experimental procedure that uses the principle of moments to obtain an accurate value for the mass of the pole.
