Problem
A 1.0 m-long light meter stick is pivoted at the 50 cm mark. A 5.0 N force acts upward at the 10 cm mark, and a 7.0 N force acts downward at the 80 cm mark. A 12 N force is applied exactly at the pivot. Using the sign convention that counter-clockwise torques are positive, determine the net torque on the stick.
