What is the Optimal Position for a Spanner to Achieve Balance and Stability?

Asif Ahsan
The attached file contains a question my brother asked me solve. But this problem might have some problem of its own. I feel like every position of the spanner is a probable one. Can someone please help.

p.s. i know the answer but avoiding giving it to avoid getting biased.

Thread 'Just an enthusiast!'

Hello fellow Physics enthusiasts, I am an aeronautical engineering graduate (Bachelor's) who is interested in Physics and Mathematics, and I have been re-learning all the basics. I wanted to join a science forum, especially one dedicated to Physics and maths, to apply these subjects to my engineering studies. I hope to learn a lot through this forum. Thank you for your warm welcome.

Thread 'Introduction'

Hello! I am a recent graduate with a Bachelors of Science with a major in Mathematics and a minor in physics! I initially wanted to pursue advanced study in mathematics but taking some physics classes in my undergrad ignited an interest in physics for me! I am really interested in Particle and Nuclear Physics and hope to pursue a graduate study in said area some time in the future! Nice to meet everyone! I am happy to talk about physics with you all!
