There is always no torque due to friction in the rotational motion sensor.
Added by Rhonda C.
Step 1
Torque is the rotational equivalent of linear force and is calculated as the product of the force applied and the distance from the pivot point (lever arm). Show more…

'Which of the following statements is TRUE about an object rolling without slipping down an inclined plane? The displacement of the center of mass is equal to the displacement of a point on the rim of the object: There is no friction acting on the object because does not slip_ The object moves with uniform speed and uniform angular speed along the incline: The net torque acting on the object is zero because energy is conserved.'

Statement 1 When the centre of mass of a round rigid body is in uniform motion on a horizontal surface such that the point of contact of the body with the surface has zero velocity, then friction force at the contact surfaces is zero. and Statement 2 Friction force comes into play only when there is relative motion at the point of contact.
