Q1
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?
