Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:- 

The mass of the meter stick is m = 0.3 kg 

The distance of a shark's tooth to the right of the center of mass of the meterstick is d1 = 0.2 m

A toy Giraffe holding the meter stick up the left end d2= 0.5 m to the left of the center of mass 

Find:- 

The force of the Giraffe on the meter stick? and  filling out the table of which forces are being applied, the y, and the torque
