Answer:

2 cm.

Explanation:

Please see attached photo for diagram.

In the attached photo, y is the distance from the pivot to which the 25 g is placed.

The value of y can be obtained as follow:

Clockwise moment = 5 × 10

Anticlock wise moment = y × 25

Anticlock wise moment = Clockwise moment

y × 25 = 5 × 10

y × 25 = 50

Divide both side by 25

y = 50/25

y = 2 cm

Thus, the distance is 2 cm
