A uniform metre scale is supported on two index fingers initially at 0.00 cm and 90.00 cm. As the fingers are slowly moved toward the centre, they alternately stick and slip. The right finger eventually stops at a distance denoted xR from the 50.00 cm mark. Given µₛ = 0.40 and µₖ = 0.32, find xR in cm.
