$A$ force $F = 2.0\,N$ acts on a particle $P$ in the $xz-$ plane. The force $F$ is parallel to the $x-$ axis. The particle $P$ (as shown in the figure) is at a distance $3\,m$ from the origin,and the line joining $P$ with the origin makes an angle of $30^\circ$ with the $x-$ axis. The magnitude of the torque on $P$ with respect to the origin $O$ (in $N-m$) is:

$A$ force of $-P \hat{k}$ acts on the origin of the coordinate system. The torque about the point $(2, -3)$ is $P(a \hat{i} + b \hat{j})$. If the ratio $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{x}{2}$,find the value of $x$.

$A$ solid cone hangs from a frictionless pivot at the origin $O$,as shown. If $\hat{i}$,$\hat{j}$,and $\hat{k}$ are unit vectors,and $a, b$,and $c$ are positive constants,which of the following forces $\vec{F}$ applied to the rim of the cone at a point $P$ results in a torque $\vec{\tau}$ on the cone with a negative $z$-component $\tau_z$?

$A$ body of mass $10 \, kg$ is hanging at rest with the help of a rope wrapped around a cylinder of diameter $0.2 \, m$. The torque applied about the horizontal axis of the cylinder is ....... $N-m$.
