The force $\vec{F} = 7\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}$ acts on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k}$. What is the torque of the given force about the origin?

  • A
    $2\hat{i} + 12\hat{j} + 10\hat{k}$
  • B
    $2\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 12\hat{k}$
  • C
    $2\hat{i} + 10\hat{j} + 10\hat{k}$
  • D
    $10\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$

Find the torque about the origin when a force of $3 \hat{j} \text{ N}$ acts on a particle whose position vector is $2 \hat{k} \text{ m}$.

Let $\vec{F}$ be a force acting on a particle having position vector $\vec{r}$,and $\vec{\tau}$ be the torque of this force about the origin. Then:

If force $\vec{F} = 3 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} - 2 \hat{k}$ acts on a particle having position vector $\vec{r} = 2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}$,then the torque about the origin will be:
