Which forces are needed for the rotational motion about a fixed axis?

  • A
    $A$ force acting along the axis of rotation.
  • B
    $A$ force whose line of action does not intersect the axis of rotation.
  • C
    $A$ force whose line of action passes through the axis of rotation.
  • D
    No force is required.

$A$ force $\overrightarrow{F} = 4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ acts at a point $\overrightarrow{r_1} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$. The torque about the point $\overrightarrow{r_2} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$ 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 is:

$A$ force $F_1 = A \hat{j}$ is applied to a point whose radius vector is $r_1 = a \hat{i}$, while a force $F_2 = B \hat{i}$ is applied to the point whose radius vector is $r_2 = b \hat{j}$. Both the radius vectors are determined relative to the origin of the coordinate axes $O$. The moment of the force relative to $O$ is

Which physical quantity plays the same role in rotational motion as force does in linear motion?

The magnitude of torque on a particle of mass $1\,kg$ is $2.5\,Nm$ about the origin. If the force acting on it is $1\,N$,and the distance of the particle from the origin is $5\,m$,the angle between the force and the position vector is (in radians)
