$A$ force $\vec F$ acts on a particle having position vector $\vec r$ (with respect to origin). It produces a torque $\vec \tau$ about the origin. Choose the correct option.

  • A
    $\vec r \cdot \vec \tau > 0$ and $\vec F \cdot \vec \tau < 0$
  • B
    $\vec r \cdot \vec \tau = 0$ and $\vec F \cdot \vec \tau = 0$
  • C
    $\vec r \cdot \vec \tau = 0$ and $\vec F \cdot \vec \tau \neq 0$
  • D
    $\vec r \cdot \vec \tau \neq 0$ and $\vec F \cdot \vec \tau = 0$
