The figure shows three forces $\overrightarrow{F}_{1}, \overrightarrow{F}_{2}$ and $\overrightarrow{F}_{3}$ acting along the sides of an equilateral triangle. If the total torque acting at point $O$ (the center of the triangle) is zero,then the magnitude of $\overrightarrow{F}_{3}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{F_{1}-F_{2}}{2}$
  • B
    $F_{1}-F_{2}$
  • C
    $F_{1}+F_{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}$

$A$ force $F = 2.0\,N$ acts on a particle $P$ in the $xz-$ plane. The force $F$ is parallel to the $x-$ axis. The particle $P$ (as shown in the figure) is at a distance $3\,m$ from the origin,and the line joining $P$ with the origin makes an angle of $30^\circ$ with the $x-$ axis. The magnitude of the torque on $P$ with respect to the origin $O$ (in $N-m$) is:

What is the torque of a force $\vec{F} = 3\hat{i} + 7\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ about the origin,if the force acts on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 1\hat{k}$?

$A$ force $\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ is applied at the intersection point of the plane $x = 2$ and the $x$-axis. The magnitude of the torque of this force about the point $(2, 3, 4)$ is .......... . (Round off to the nearest integer)
