A uniform meter stick with equally spaced tick marks has a fulcrum at its center, and a downward force F is applied to the meter stick at the position shown. Another downward \downarrow force of 4, F is then applied to the meter stick.

At which position should the downward force 4, F be applied to keep the meter stick in equilibrium?

(Choice A)
position x, start subscript, 1, end subscript
(Choice B)
position x, start subscript, 2, end subscript
(Choice C)
position x, start subscript, 3, end subscript
(Choice D)
position x, start subscript, 4, end subscript
