What is the Hanging weight system that helps demonstrate the rotation of earth?

You're referring to the Foucault Pendulum.
If you can keep any pendulum swinging long enough without it dying out, you'll see that the 'plane'
of its swing rotates ... if you start it out swinging between the left and right walls of the room, then
it slowly turns to swing between the front and back walls, and eventually comes back around to the
left and right walls again. The time it takes to rotate depends on the latitude of your location.
The shortest possible period is 24 hours ... that happens with a pendulum at the north and south
poles. At the latitude of Glasgow or the tip of South America, it's about 29 hours; at the latitude of
Caracas Venezuela or Lima Peru, it's over 130 hours; at the equator, it doesn't rotate at all.

How much ounces does a half of meat have?

How much weight can a hanging storage organizer handle?
It depends on what kind of organizer you are hanging. For example, a garage hanging storage organizer can hold up to 250 pounds. However, a closet organizer for clothing can hold much less weight.

Which type of motion is exhibited by tortional pendulum?
A torsional pendulum exhibits rotational periodic motion. You can create one by hanging some weight from a cord, and then rotating the weight. The cord becomes twisted, generating a torsion force, that will cause the weight to rotate in the oppopsite direction. Thus, a periodic rotation movement is generated.
What prevents galaxies from collapsing under their own weight?
Their rotation.

How do you make a pendulum?

Will the thickness of the flap effect the rotation of the helicopter?
Rotation, no. Lift, yes. If you increase the surface area of the propeller, then you alter the lift to weight ratio.
How much hanging weight do you get on 1000 lb cow slaughter?
It very much depends on the breed & how the neat (singular of cattle) was finished. Many of our 'modern' breeds give you less meat in the package per pound of live weight. Some of the older breeds, in their original form, give a much better hanging or packaged weight. Hanging weight (after slaughter and dressing) is approx 2/3 of live weight. Packaged weight, after butchering, (cutting and trimming), you will loose approx another 1/3 of weight, leaving on average a third or a little more of original live weight. Some breeds however will give you much better packaged weights, as much as 45% packaged weight & 70+% hanging weight.
