Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equilibrium is a state in which the algebraic sum of all forces acting on an object is zero. Thus the object has no force acting on it. The types are: stable, unstable and neutral equilibrium. While a torque is a turning force which are equal but acts in an opposite direction. When applied to on object, it constitute a turning effect. Example is the force applied on a tap, handle wheel of a car etc.
In the given question, the condition stated shows that the stick would experience a torque, thus not in equilibrium. Since the forces at its ends are in opposite directions, then it continues to rotate about its axis.
