you measured the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight by lifting up the end of the gyroscope (at 7.5 inches). If you measured

at a different distance, say you attached the spring scale at 5 inches from the pivot point, would the spring scale read a different value? Would the torque be a different value? Does this explain why you do not need to measure the spring scale at the center of mass location, where the moment of gravitational force is located? (provide an argument as well as your measurement report.)

Answer:

i) No, the spring scale does not read a different value

ii) The torque will read a different value, it will reduce

iii) The spring scale does not need to be measured at the center of mass location.

Explanation:

The torque caused by the gyroscope can be given by the relation,

\tau = r × f

\tau = rf cos \theta

The torque measured by the gyroscope varies directly with the distance, r.

A decrease in the distance r will also cause a decrease in the value of the torque measured. When the distance, r is reduced from 7.5 inches to 5 inches, the torque caused by the gyroscope's weight also reduces.

The weight of the gyroscope remains constant despite the reduction in the distance because the weight  of the gyroscope is not a function of the distance from the gyroscope. Therefore, the spring scale will not read a different value.

Yes, the spring scale does not need to be measured from the center of mass location because the weight does not depend on the location of measurement. The reading of the sprig scale remains constant.

An inorganic compound, when placed in water, dissociates 99orming cations and anions neither of which are:______
Ivanshal [37]

Neither are Strong acid.

<h3>What does “strong acid” mean?</h3>

In the solution, solid acids entirely separate into ions. For instance, hydrochloric acid is a solid acid.

It totally ionizes, forming hydrogen and chloride ions. Nitric acid and sulfuric acid are also components of strong acids.

A solid or strong acid is one that has completely dissociated into ions. It is a weak acid if it does not dissociate completely.

<h3>What is an example of a strong acid?</h3>

Chloric acid, hydrobromic acid, hydrochloric acid, hydroiodic acid, nitric acid, perchloric acid, and sulfuric acid are the seven major acids that make up strong acids. These are referred to as strong acids since they can totally dissociate in water.

The earliest method of food preservation was the icebox. <br> a. True<br> b. False
fredd [130]
False, the ice box was invented in the 1930's, the earliest for of food preservation was probably a shaded place, cave or smoking the food. the earliest forms of food preservation are hard to prove and I don't know what they are either I was just making and educated guess.

Why would you expect sodium (Na) to react strongly with chlorine (Cl)?
Elan Coil [88]
We know, Sodium has 1 electron in its valence shell and Chlorine has one vacant, so when they react sodium loses an electron & transfer it to chlorine, as they form a strong ionic bond. That's why they react strongly with each other

Hope this helps!

What is the difference between distance and displacement? distance is a vector, while displacement is not a vector. displacement
german
A scalar is a quantity that has only magnitude and no direction while vector has both magnitude and direction.Distance is a scalar quantity because when you are asked to calculate the distance of an object from a point you will just calculate it's magnitude but if it is displacement you will need to calculate the magnitude and direction.
