A meterstick (L = 1 m) has a mass of m = 0.203 kg. Initially it
hangs from two short strings: one at the 25 cm mark and one at the
75 cm mark.
What is the tension in the left string?
2) Now the right
string is cut! The meterstick will begin to swing, and this problem
is no longer a statics problem! You may assume that the meterstick
swings about a pivot point at the location where the left string is
attached to the meterstick. You may also assume that the left
string remains vertical. At the moment after the right string is
cut, what is the net torque on the meterstick about this
