$A$ rod of length $l$ is acted upon by a couple as shown in the figure. The moment of the couple is $\tau \text{ Nm}$. If the force at each end of the rod is $F$,then the magnitude of each force is (given $\sin 30^{\circ} = \cos 60^{\circ} = 0.5$):

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:
