If force $\vec{F} = -3 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}$ acts at a position vector $\vec{r} = 7 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,then the torque $\vec{\tau}$ acting at that point is:

  • A
    $(14 \hat{i} - 38 \hat{j} + 16 \hat{k})$
  • B
    $(-14 \hat{i} + 34 \hat{j} - 16 \hat{k})$
  • C
    $(21 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k})$
  • D
    $(4 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k})$

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:

$A$ force $\overrightarrow{F} = 4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ acts at a point $\overrightarrow{r_1} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$. The torque about the point $\overrightarrow{r_2} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$ is:

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:
