Physics EASY experiment

A meter stick is placed on the tip of a pole at 35cm. A heavy mass (200g) is placed at 19.3 cm. A medium mass (100g) is placed at 52.7cm. A light mass which weighs 20g is also placed on the meter stick. Solve for where the light mass should be placed to achieve perfect balance.
