One end of a meter stick is pinned to a table, so the stick can rotate freely in a plane parallel to the tabletop (see the figure). Two forces both parallel to the tabletop, are applied to the stick in such a way that the net torque is zero. One force has a magnitude of 4.00 N and is applied perpendicular to the stick at the free end. The other force has a magnitude of 6.00 N and acts at a 60.0° angle with respect to the stick. Where along the stick is the 6.00-N force applied? Express this distance with respect to the axis of rotation.
