How does one answer the following high school physics question? If a meter
stick is floating in free space and a force momentarily is applied at one end
of the stick perpendicular to the stick, what motion arises?

I suspect that a torque is realized but how does one show a free body diagram
that leads to the correct answer?

Any help would be appreciated.
