A stick with a length of 1m is supported by a knife edge at the 50 cm mark (middle). Two masses m1: 0.4 kg and m2: 0.6 kg are hanging.. m1 20 cm from the left end and m2 20 cm from the right end of the stick. Gravity: 10 m/s

Calculate the torque created by m1.

Does this torque rotate the stick clockwise or counterclockwise?

Calculate the torque created by m2.

Clockwise or counterclockwise?

Where should you place a 3rd mass such that the stick is at equilibrium? Closer to m1,m2, or doesn't matter?

Find the distance with respect to the support that the third mass m3: 0.3, should be placed for the stick to be in equilibrium?
