$A$ 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:

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $42\hat{i} - 30\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$
  • C
    $42\hat{i} + 30\hat{j} + 6\hat{k}$
  • D
    $42\hat{i} + 30\hat{j} - 6\hat{k}$
