a stick of mass m=2 kg and length L=1m is pivoted about its end. Mass M = 32 kg is attached to the stick at a distance r=0.250 m from the pivot point. This mass is negligible size. What is the net torque on the system when it is released from the horizontal position? remember to consider the force of gravity on the stick and on the mass M. need help figuering this out any help would be great
