Consider a meter stick of 150 g that has pivot point at point O, which is at the location of 25 cm mark. There is a hanging weight of mass 200 g at 60 cm mark. There is a clamp at 90 cm mark which supports the meter stick upward such that meter stick is in static equilibrium. (a) Identify how many forces are acting on the meter stick with their direction. [1.5] (b) Draw vectors for all the forces on the following figure. [0.5] (c) Identify and draw all the torques acting on the meter stick, by making clockwise or counter clockwise arcs for their directions. [0.5] (d) Calculate net clockwise torques. Show your equation and work. (e) Calculate net counterclockwise torque acting on the meter stick. (f) Find the force provided by the clamp by solving the torque equation.
