A rotational axis is directed perpendicular to the plane of asquare and is located as shown in the drawing. Two forces,1and 2,are applied to diagonally opposite corners, and act along the sidesof the square, first as shown in part a and then as shown inpart b of the drawing. In each case the net torque producedby the forces is zero. The square is one meter on a side, and themagnitude of 2 is5 times that of 1.Find the distances a and b that locate the axis. Notethat a and b are not drawn to scale.
a=___m
b=___m

1) F1×b=F2×a=5×F1×a
So b=5×a
2) F1×(La)=F2×b=5×F1×b
F1×LF1a=F2×b=5×F1×b=25×F1×a
La=22×a

So a=L26 and b=5×L26
