A uniform meter stick is placed horizontally on the ground along an east-west ax

Question

A uniform meter stick is placed horizontally on the ground along an east-west axis. A force of one newton is applied at each end of the meter stick in a southerly direction. The torque on the meter stick about its center is A uniform meter stick is placed horizontally on the ground along an east-west axis. A force of one newton is applied at each end of the meter stick in a southerly direction. The torque on the meter stick about its center is Zero 1 newton-meter clockwise 1 newton-meter counterclockwise 0.75 newton-meters counterclockwise 0.50 newton-meter counterclockwise

Explanation / Answer

For the Torque to generate there should be equal and opposite forces to act, here the forces are in same direction, so simple translation occur, no rotation due to no torque

The torque on the meter stick about its center is Zero
