A uniform horizontal rod of length L L\,L is pivoted at its center, allowing it to rotate freely in a horizontal plane. Two forces, each of magnitude FFF, are applied horizontally and perpendicular to the rod in one of four different arrangements:
In which arrangement is the net turning effect (torque) about the pivot the greatest?
Arrangement A
Arrangement B
Arrangement C
Arrangement D
