The system above is NOT balanced since \(m_2\) is twice the mass of \(m_1\). Which of the following changes would NOT balance the system so that there is \(0\) net torque? Assume the plank has no mass of its own.(a) Adding a mass equal to \(m_2\) on the far left side and a mass equal to \(m_1\) on the far right side , (b) Stacking both masses directly on top of the fulcrum , (c) Moving the fulcrum a distance \(\dfrac{L}{3}\) to the right , (d) Moving both masses a distance \(\dfrac{L}{3}\) to the left :
