$A$ force $\vec{F} = (2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) \text{ N}$ is acting at a point $(-1, 2, -3) \text{ m}$. Find its torque about the origin.

Let $\vec{F}$ be a force acting on a particle having position vector $\vec{r}$,and $\vec{\tau}$ be the torque of this force about the origin. Then:

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