$A$ force $F_1 = A \hat{j}$ is applied to a point whose radius vector is $r_1 = a \hat{i}$, while a force $F_2 = B \hat{i}$ is applied to the point whose radius vector is $r_2 = b \hat{j}$. Both the radius vectors are determined relative to the origin of the coordinate axes $O$. The moment of the force relative to $O$ is

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:
