Find the torque of a force $\overrightarrow F = 2\hat i + \hat j + 4\hat k$ acting at the point $\overrightarrow r = 7\hat i + 3\hat j + \hat k$.

Which of the following is a vector quantity?

$A$ uniform cube of side $a$ and mass $m$ rests on a rough horizontal table. $A$ horizontal force $F$ is applied normal to one of the faces at a point that is directly above the centre of the face,at a height $\frac{3a}{4}$ above the base. The minimum value of $F$ for which the cube begins to tilt about the edge is (assume that the cube does not slide):

$A$ wheel of radius $R$ with an axle of radius $R/2$ is as shown in the figure. It is free to rotate about a frictionless axis through its centre and perpendicular to the page. Three forces are exerted as shown in the figure: a force $F$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the tangent of the outer rim,a force $F$ tangential to the inner axle,and a force $2F$ tangential to the outer rim. The magnitude of the net torque acting on the system is nearly ............. $FR$.

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 $\vec{r} = 2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 1\hat{k}$?

What does torque measure in terms of producing rotational motion?
