Nicola is attempting to create a single tiered mobile as shown. She has a wooden dowel (, ), and two distinct bird ornaments (, ) which she wishes to attach on either end of the dowel.

Question 1

If Nicola places ornament , to the left of the dowel's midpoint, and ornament , to the right of the dowel's midpoint, where should she attach the mobile string in order for it to balance?
