### Data Table: Torque Calculation

This data table presents measurements related to torque calculations where force is applied at different string positions. Below is a detailed transcription of the table:

| **String Position (cm)** | **F (N)** | **r (m)** | **τ (Nm)** |
|--------------------------|-----------|-----------|------------|
| 90.0                     | 0.842     | 0.89      | 0.74938    |
| 80.0                     | 0.945     | 0.79      | 0.74655    |
| 70.0                     | 1.082     | 0.69      | 0.74658    |
| 60.0                     | 1.272     | 0.59      | 0.75048    |
| 50.0                     | 1.525     | 0.49      | 0.74725    |
| 40.0                     | 1.917     | 0.39      | 0.74763    |
| 30.0                     | 2.581     | 0.29      | 0.74849    |
| 20.0                     | 3.882     | 0.19      | 0.73758    |

#### Table Explanation:

- **String Position (cm):** Indicates the position along the string in centimeters where the force is applied.
- **F (N):** Represents the force applied in Newtons.
- **r (m):** Denotes the lever arm distance in meters.
- **τ (Nm):** Indicates the torque produced in Newton-meters.

The table shows the relationship between the applied force, the distance from the pivot point, and the resulting torque. The data suggests that as the string position decreases, the force increases while the distance decreases, resulting in slight variations in torque values.

### Torque and Equilibrium Analysis

**10. Free Body Diagram:**

- **Diagram Explanation:**
  - The diagram shows a horizontal meter stick with a pivot point on the left.
  - Vertical (V) and horizontal (H) components of the force are shown at the pivot point.
  - The stick is labeled with a length marked in centimeters (× CM).
  
**11. Calculating Torque Due to Gravity:**

- Use the formula for torque: \(\tau = r \cdot F \cdot \sin \theta\).
- Determine the torque due to the weight of the meter stick and calculate the result.

  \[\tau_{\text{gravity}} = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \text{Nm}\]

**12. Torque Equilibrium Analysis:**

- The torques due to gravity (\(\tau_{\text{gravity}}\)) and the tension in the string (\(\tau_{\text{tension}}\)) should be close since they balance each other for equilibrium (no rotation).
- To find the percent difference between two values (\(v_1\) and \(v_2\)), use:

  \[
  \text{\% difference} = \frac{v_1 - v_2}{v_{\text{avg}}} \times 100
  \]

  \[\text{\% difference} = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_]
