What is the torque of a force $\vec{F} = 3\hat{i} + 7\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ about the origin,if the force acts on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 1\hat{k}$?

The torque due to the force $\vec{F} = (2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k})$ about the origin,acting on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$,is:

If $\vec{F} = (5 \hat{i} - 10 \hat{j}) \text{ N}$ and $\vec{r} = (4 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j}) \text{ m}$,then the torque $\vec{\tau}$ acting on the object will be:

$A$ 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 ............. $FR$.
