The figure shows a meter stick, which can pivot about an axis indicated by the black dot (at 25 cm). The meter stick has a moment of inertia of 1.0 kg m2. Forces F1 = 1.3 N, F2 = 5.6 N, and F3 = 8.7 N act on the meter stick at the 0 cm, 70 cm, and 1 m marks, respectively, as shown. What is the net torque (in units of N m2) acting on the meter stick? You should use the convention that a counterclockwise torque is positive and a clockwise torque is negative.

If you hold your arm outstretched with your palm upward, the force to keep your arm from falling comes from your deltoid muscle. Assume that the arm with hand has mass 4.25 kg and the distances and angles shown. What is the magnitude of the torque must the deltoid muscle provide to keep the arm in this position, in N·m? Use g = 10.0 m/s2. Your answer needs to have 3 significant figures, including the negative sign in your answer if needed. Do not include the positive sign if the answer is positive. No unit is needed in your answer, it is already given in the question statement.
