While on a camping trip, a man would like to carry water from the lake to his campsite. He fills two, non-identical buckets with water and attaches them to a 1.11 m long rod. Since the buckets are not identical, he finds that the rod balances about a point located at a length I = 0.0655 m from its midpoint, as shown. The weight of the rod and empty buckets is negligible compared to the weight of the water, and the buckets are not shown to scale. Which bucket holds more water? bucket 2 They hold the same amount of water. bucket 1 How much more water does the heavier bucket contain, expressed as a percentage? 20.2 percentage: % Incorrect

Cannot figure out the percentage, and it is not 21.11% either.

While on a camping trip, a man would like to carry water from the lake to his campsite. He fills two, non-identical buckets with
water and attaches them to a 1.11 m long rod. Since the buckets are not identical, he finds that the rod balances about a point
located at a length I = 0.0655 m from its midpoint, as shown. The weight of the rod and empty buckets is negligible compared to
the weight of the water, and the buckets are not shown to scale.
Which bucket holds more water?
bucket 2
They hold the same amount of water.
bucket 1
