Question

how to find if torque favors clockwise or anticlockwise motion??i need the method

Answer 1

You're not understanding torque. This question doesn't make sense. Think about this again after you've reviewed the material we discussed.

Answer 2

consider 2 points A and B on a scale pivoted at the rectangular point at their centre...so wen u imagine giving a force at a say perpendicular to the surface of scale u create torque(f cross r) in the clockwise(-ve) direction
