Homework Statement


The question is number 12 on this practice exam: http://www.eastwoodzhao.com/exams/2003%20-%202005/Exams/Physics/August%202003.pdf


Homework Equations


Well, torque = force x distance
I don't even think you need that though, I think it's a matter of the net force acting on the stick.


The Attempt at a Solution


I honestly have no idea with F just being a variable!


Thanks! Sorry I wasn't more helpful!

Well, it appears the metre stick is in static equilibrium.

What does that imply?
