The left and the right arm of a balance beam are 10 cm and 10.5 cm long. The rod rests in a horizontal position without any scale-pan. The rod also rests in a horizontal position if two scale-pans of unequal weights are suspended from the two ends of the beam. A body is now placed on the right scale-pan and a mass of 100 g is placed on the left scale-pan to make the beam horizontal. Find the true weight of the body.
