A rod pivoted at its center with two forces of equal magnitude applied at different locations and angles.
A uniform rod of length \(L\) is pivoted at its center. Two forces, each of magnitude \(F\), are applied to the rod as shown. Force 1 is applied at a distance \(L/4\) to the left of the pivot and is directed perpendicular to the rod. Force 2 is applied at the right end of the rod and is directed at an angle of \(30^\circ\) relative to the rod. Which of the following correctly describes the net torque on the rod and its resulting motion?
