Calculate the forces acting on the suspended meter stick

Reference no: EM13987050

Calculate the forces acting on the suspended meter stick and the sum of the forces. Choose two different points on the stick as pivot points, and calculate the sum of the torques (moments) about each. Remember that the mass of the meter stick should be concentrated at its center of gravity. Verify, within your experimental errors, that the sum of the forces is zero.

So I'm having trouble summing the forces and moments..

The data that I collected for this part is as follows:

Mass_1 = 0.250kg
Mass_2 = 0.1kg
Mass_3 = 0.145kg
Position of Mass_3 = 0.188m
Center of Gravity (of meter stick) = 0.521m
