The corner of a rectangular piece of wood is attached to a rod that is free to rotate as shown. The length of the longer side of the rectangle is 6.0 m, which is three times the length of the shorter side. Three equal forces are applied to two of the corners and the midpoint of the shorter side with magnitudes of 20 N as shown below. What is the magnitude of the net torque and direction of rotation on the block, if any? 80 Nm, clockwise 60 Nm, counterclockwise 60 Nm, clockwise 0 Nm, no rotation
