One ice skater of mass $m$ moves with speed $2v$ to the right,while another of the same mass $m$ moves with speed $v$ toward the left,as shown in figure $I$. Their paths are separated by a distance $b$. At $t = 0$,when they are both at $x = 0$,they grasp a pole of length $b$ and negligible mass. For $t > 0$,consider the system as a rigid body of two masses $m$ separated by distance $b$,as shown in figure $II$. Which of the following is the correct formula for the motion after $t = 0$ of the skater initially at $y = b/2$?

$A$ body weighs $6$ g when placed in one pan and $24$ g when placed on the other pan of a false balance. If the beam is horizontal when both the pans are empty,the true weight of the body is ....... g.
