Question

We have seen that the cause of translational motion is force, which is a push or a pull. Now, we turn our attention to the cause of rotation, which is called torque. In this lab, you will: a. Find the center of mass of a meter stick b. Find the torque exerted on a meter stick by weights added at varying locations c. Make predictions about how to keep a meter stick balanced using addition of torques d. Test your predictions with experiment
