Let the mass of the meter rule be M grams.
According to the principle of moments, the total anticlockwise moment about the pivot point must be equal to the total clockwise moment about the pivot point.
At the 48cm mark:
60g * 6cm = M * 48cm
At the 30cm mark:
60g * 24cm = M * 30cm
Solving these two equations simultaneously:
360 = 48M
1440 = 30M
M = 7.5g
Therefore, the mass of the meter rule is 7.5 grams.
