First, not related to this figure, if there is a total torque T acting on a body, can I move this vector around the space by translation? Will I affect the system?Second, I don’t understand why can’t there be torque along the A-B axis. For example, if I apply a force to flip the gyroscope, the gyroscope will definitely turn around and there will be an increase of angular momentum along the A-B axis.Thank you.
The full example is attached if it is helpful.
