$A$ force $\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ is applied at a point with position vector $\vec{r_1} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$. The torque about the point with position vector $\vec{r_2} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$ is:

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $42\hat{i} - 30\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$
  • C
    $42\hat{i} + 30\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$
  • D
    $42\hat{i} + 30\hat{j} - 6\hat{k}$

When a force of $6.0 \, N$ is exerted at $30^{\circ}$ to a wrench at a distance of $8 \, cm$ from the nut,it is just able to loosen the nut. What force $F$ would be sufficient to loosen it,if it acts perpendicularly to the wrench at $16 \, cm$ from the nut (in $, N$)?

Give the formula for the moment of a couple.

The coordinates of a particle with respect to origin in a given reference frame is $(1, 1, 1) \ m$. If a force of $\vec{F} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \ N$ acts on the particle,then the magnitude of the torque (with respect to origin) in the $z$-direction is . . . . . . .

$A$ force $\overrightarrow{F} = 4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ acts at a point $\overrightarrow{r_1} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$. The torque about the point $\overrightarrow{r_2} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$ is:
