$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along a trajectory given by $x = x_0 + a \cos \omega_1 t$ and $y = y_0 + b \sin \omega_2 t$. The torque acting on the particle about the origin at $t = 0$ is:

  • A
    $m y_0 a \omega_1^2 \hat{k}$
  • B
    $m (-x_0 b + y_0 a) \omega_1^2 \hat{k}$
  • C
    $-m (-x_0 b \omega_2^2 + y_0 a \omega_1^2) \hat{k}$
  • D
    Zero

$A$ 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.

The vector sum of a system of non-collinear forces acting on a rigid body is given to be nonzero. If the vector sum of all the torques due to the system of forces about a certain point is found to be zero,does this mean that it is necessarily zero about any arbitrary point?
