Answer:
Explanation:
Component of force perpendicular to stick
= F Sin 60°
=√3 / 2 F.
Taking torque about the other end
= √3 / 2 F x 1 Nm
Weight of stick = 60 gm
= 60 x 10⁻³ kg
= 60 x 10⁻³ x 9.8 N
= .588 N
This weight will act from the middle point of stick so torque about the
other end
= .588 x 1 Nm
Balancing these two torques we have
.588 = √3 /2 F
F = 0.679 N
Imagine an object is moving in one dimension on a number line, and for this we'll say that the numbers on the line are a metre apart. If the object moves from 2 m to 7 m, the change in position is 7-2=+5 metres. But if the object moves back from 7 m to 2 m, the change in position is 2-7=-5 metres. since 
, and time is always positive, velocity will be positive in one direction and negative in the other direction.
