The torque of a force $\vec{F} = 5 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} - 7 \hat{k}$ about the origin is $\vec{\tau}$. If the force acts on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = 2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,then the value of $\vec{\tau}$ will be:

What is the torque of force $\vec F = 2\hat i - 3\hat j + 4\hat k$ acting at a point $\vec r = 3\hat i + 2\hat j + 3\hat k$ about the origin?

Four equal and parallel forces are acting on a rod (as shown in the figure) at distances of $20 \, cm, 40 \, cm, 60 \, cm$,and $80 \, cm$ respectively from one end of the rod. Under the influence of these forces,the rod -

$A$ wheel of radius $R$ with an axle of radius $R/2$ is as shown in the figure. It is free to rotate about a frictionless axis through its centre and perpendicular to the page. Three forces are exerted as shown in the figure: a force $F$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the tangent of the outer rim,a force $F$ tangential to the inner axle,and a force $2F$ tangential to the outer rim. The magnitude of the net torque acting on the system is nearly ............. $FR$.
