A "meterstick" is a measuring device (like a ruler or yardstick) and is usually exactly one meter in length*.
In the metric SI system of measurement 1 meter = 100 centimeters.
A centimeter is exactly 1/100 of a meter.
*Meter sticks, like some rulers, can be longer than an actual meter, about 39.5 inches long, so measurements should only be made on the scaled edge.

A meterstick is 100 centimeters long one hundred centimeters is how many millimeters?
1 meter = 100 centimeters
If you hang a meterstick in balance and then hang a 100g mass on either side of the meterstick at equal distances maintaining the balance of the meterstick what is the net torque on the system?
The net torque on the system is zero because the meterstick is in equilibrium. The torque created by the 100g mass on one side is equal and opposite to the torque created by the 100g mass on the other side, preventing the meterstick from rotating.
Is a meterstick a metric unit?
No a meterstick is a tool used for measuring..mass, volume, time, length, and temperature are all metric units
