Two forces are applied to a rod that is free to rotate about one end. Force F1F_1F1​ = 10 N is applied at the midpoint of the rod, perpendicular to the rod. Force F2F_2F2​ = 5 N is applied at the free end of the rod, also perpendicular to the rod, but in the opposite direction. If the rod is 2 m long, what is the net torque ...
