$A$ solid cone hangs from a frictionless pivot at the origin $O$,as shown. If $\hat{i}$,$\hat{j}$,and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors,and $a, b$,and $c$ are positive constants,which of the following forces $\vec{F}$ applied to the rim of the cone at a point $P$ results in a torque $\vec{\tau}$ on the cone with a negative $z$-component $\tau_z$?

  • A
    $F = a \hat{k}$,$P$ is $(0, b, -c)$
  • B
    $F = -a \hat{k}$,$P$ is $(0, -b, -c)$
  • C
    $F = a \hat{j}$,$P$ is $(-b, 0, -c)$
  • D
    None
