$A$ triangular plate is shown in the figure. $A$ force $\overrightarrow{F} = 4 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j}$ is applied at point $P$. The torques at point $P$ with respect to point $O$ and point $Q$ are:

  • A
    $-15-20 \sqrt{3}, 15-20 \sqrt{3}$
  • B
    $15+20 \sqrt{3}, 15-20 \sqrt{3}$
  • C
    $15-20 \sqrt{3}, 15+20 \sqrt{3}$
  • D
    $-15+20 \sqrt{3}, 15+20 \sqrt{3}$

Let $\overrightarrow{F}$ be the force acting on a particle having position vector $\overrightarrow{r}$,and let $\overrightarrow{\tau}$ be the torque of this force about the origin. Then:

$A$ 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.
