A normal force is perpendicular to the surface. In physics class this is initially a horizontal surface in most problems. If so, the normal force would balance out the force caused by gravity (F=mg). If on an incline you would include a trigonometric function (F = mg sin(x) or mg cos(x)) depending on the location of the angle x.

Why isn't a normal force of the fulcrum on the meter stick n considered when balancing the torques on the meter stick?
Balancing torque is the sum of moments ( normal force times distance) = 0. The fulcrum is where you balance about, and although there is a noprmal force there its distance to the fulcrum is of course zero so it does not come into play.
