Question

hey can some1 tell me why f1 is moving clockwise and f2 counterclockwise?

Answer 1

If we let O be the point of rotation, it is pretty clear that F1 creates a clockwise natured rotation.

F2 is a little trickier. We need to break it up into its x and y components. We can see that the x-component acts from the point of application of the force through point O. This component clearly doesn't make a torque about point O. The y-component acts upwards, which is in the opposite direction of F1. The y-component creates a counterclockwise natured rotation.

Grab your pencil between your fingers. Notice the direction you need to push on your pencil to make it rotate clockwise and counterclockwise.
