The figure shows a beam with multiple forces acting on it. The X indicates an axis of rotation at the right end of the beam. At this axis, the net torque is found to be 0 Nm and the net force is found to be 0 N. If the axis of rotation were instead at the left end of the beam, the net torque would be α
