See the image in that page.
I know intuitively why a direction of torque is counterclockwise-because of a centrifugal force.
But an direction of angular momentum of that shaft with attached weights (ignore the shaft mass) is southeast direction.
And a torque of that body is an inward of page, which means clockwise direction.
Why I gets this conclusion? somebody help me.
