A uniform meterstick is balanced horizontally on a pivot located at the

40\,\text{cm}

mark. A

1.0\,\text{N}

weight hangs from the

10\,\text{cm}

mark, and an unknown weight hangs from the

90\,\text{cm}

mark. The stick remains at rest, and the angular acceleration is

\alpha=0

. Which statement must be true about the net torque on the stick about the pivot?
