The position vectors of two particles of a rigid body are $(3, 0, 0) \ m$ and $(0, 3, 0) \ m$. Forces of $(0, 1, 0) \ N$ and $(0, -1, 0) \ N$ act on these particles respectively. The torque of the couple is ....... $Nm$.

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $3\hat{k} - \hat{j}$
  • C
    $3\hat{k}$
  • D

The vector sum of a system of non-collinear forces acting on a rigid body is given to be nonzero. If the vector sum of all the torques due to the system of forces about a certain point is found to be zero,does this mean that it is necessarily zero about any arbitrary point?

$A$ force $\overrightarrow{F} = (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) \text{ N}$ acts at a point $\vec{r}_1 = (4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} - \hat{k}) \text{ m}$. The magnitude of torque about the point $\vec{r}_2 = (\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}) \text{ m}$ is $\sqrt{x} \text{ N-m}$. The value of $x$ is $........$
