For each of the 6 scenarios given, sketch the situation (drawing r1, r2, r3, F1, F2, and F3) and determine the magnitude (value) and direction (+ or -) of each torque. Remember that the x value given in the table is the position of the hanging mass, but that might be different from the r value you need to use. Don't include the mass of a bracket that would hold the hanging mass in place; assume the mass listed is the entire mass hanging at that point.
