rhyme - A poem of dynamic words


In many great novels, to the reader I appear

Adjust me, and I describe things that are near


Once more, and my meaning changes only slightly
Again, and you excercised your free will, rightly


Yet another, and I'm something we all ought to do
Again, I'm a boundary with a beautiful view


Again, I'm a place to which many must go
And again, I'm a thing wise men shouldn't throw


Now behead me, I'm a thing you must watch while you speak
Your next action depends on the word that you seek:


Behead me once more, and my use is widespread

Or instead take my foot, of hard things I am said



Answer



In many great novels, to the reader I appear



Great novels have a very compelling theme.



Adjust me, and I describe things that are near



Would you perhaps be referencing these, over here? (m -> s)




Once more, and my meaning changes only slightly



Or perhaps you mean those? (e -> o)



Again, and you exercised your free will, rightly



If you exercised your free will, you chose something. (t -> c)



Yet another, and I'm something we all ought to do




I thought this was share, but it turns out we should all do a chore once in awhile. (s -> r)



Again, I'm a boundary with a beautiful view



Especially beautiful at sunset or sunrise, this references the shore. (c -> s)



Again, I'm a place to which many must go



If you need to buy something, you have to go to the store. (h -> t)




And again, I'm a thing wise men shouldn't throw



If you're wise, you will throw no stone. (r -> n)



Now behead me, I'm a thing you must watch while you speak



I know I've heard this from my mother: you better watch your tone! (goodbye, s)



Behead me once more, and my use is widespread




The number one is a pretty widespread number, I'd say. (goodbye, t)



Or instead take my foot, of hard things I am said



That thing must weigh a ton! (goodbye, e)

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
