condensed matter - physics of the beaker experiment for superfluid helium


here is an illustration and explanation of the beaker experiment over superfluid helium:

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 \...
