If the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm.
The given parameters:
Let the length of the ruler = L
The center of the gravity of the ruler is calculated as follows;
[tex]X_{CG} = \frac{W(L_0) + W(L -X_{CG})}{W} \\\\X_{CG} = \frac{1(0) + 1(L -X_{CG})}{1}\\\\X_{CG} = L - X_{CG}\\\\X_{CG } + X_{CG} = L\\\\2X_{CG} = L\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{L}{2} \\\\when , \ L = 50 \ cm\\\\X_{CG} = \frac{50}{2} \\\\X_{CG} = 25 \ cm[/tex]
Thus, if the length of the ruler is 50 cm, the center of gravity cannot be greater than 25 cm. This may change if the length of the ruler changes because the center of gravity of uniform ruler depends on the length of the ruler.
