How do you draw a diagram of the ruler and mass system in equilibrium identifying the anti-clockwise torque and clockwise torque? How do I calculate the anti-clockwise torque and the clockwise torque of the system with the ruler and the washers, does it come from the data in table 4? Please help, thank you!
Example
Double pane windows have two panes of glass
(n = 1.5), with a layer of air sandwiched between
them. If light from outside enters the first pane
at an angle of 25° from the surface normal, what
angle does it enter the house at?

Did your experiment results in Data Table 3 verify, to within a reasonable experimental error, the condition of equilibrium of Equation 6: Στanti-clockwise = Στclockwise? Support your response with experimental data.
What does this Σ mean? My results do not show they are equal to each other, what does this mean then, and what does the data show? Thanks!
