What is the torque of the force $\vec{F} = (2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) \text{ N}$ acting at the point $\vec{r} = (3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) \text{ m}$ about the origin?

  • A
    $-17\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} + 13\hat{k}$
  • B
    $-6\hat{i} + 6\hat{j} - 12\hat{k}$
  • C
    $17\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} - 13\hat{k}$
  • D
    $6\hat{i} - 6\hat{j} + 12\hat{k}$
