$A$ wheel of radius $R$ with an axle of radius $R/2$ is as shown in the figure. It is free to rotate about a frictionless axis through its centre and perpendicular to the page. Three forces are exerted as shown in the figure: a force $F$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the tangent of the outer rim,a force $F$ tangential to the inner axle,and a force $2F$ tangential to the outer rim. The magnitude of the net torque acting on the system is nearly ............. $FR$.

  • A
    $3.5$
  • B
    $3.2$
  • C
    $2.5$
  • D
    $1.5$

How is the direction of torque determined?

$A$ force $\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ is applied at the intersection point of the plane $x = 2$ and the $x$-axis. The magnitude of the torque of this force about the point $(2, 3, 4)$ is .......... . (Round off to the nearest integer)

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

The torque of a force $\vec{F} = 5 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} - 7 \hat{k}$ about the origin is $\vec{\tau}$. If the force acts on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = 2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,then the value of $\vec{\tau}$ will be:

Find the torque of a force $\vec{F} = 7 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} - 5 \hat{k}$ about the origin. The force acts on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$.
