$A$ force $\vec F$ acts on a particle having position vector $\vec r$ (with respect to origin). It produces a torque $\vec \tau$ about the origin. Choose the correct option.

  • A
    $\vec r \cdot \vec \tau > 0$ and $\vec F \cdot \vec \tau < 0$
  • B
    $\vec r \cdot \vec \tau = 0$ and $\vec F \cdot \vec \tau = 0$
  • C
    $\vec r \cdot \vec \tau = 0$ and $\vec F \cdot \vec \tau \neq 0$
  • D
    $\vec r \cdot \vec \tau \neq 0$ and $\vec F \cdot \vec \tau = 0$

Part of the tuning arrangement of a radio consists of a wheel which is acted on by two parallel constant forces as shown in the figure. If the wheel rotates just once, the work done will be about (diameter of the wheel = $0.05\ m$). (in $J$)

$A$ force $F = 2.0\,N$ acts on a particle $P$ in the $xz-$ plane. The force $F$ is parallel to the $x-$ axis. The particle $P$ (as shown in the figure) is at a distance $3\,m$ from the origin,and the line joining $P$ with the origin makes an angle of $30^\circ$ with the $x-$ axis. The magnitude of the torque on $P$ with respect to the origin $O$ (in $N-m$) is:
