$A$ rod of length $l$ is acted upon by a couple as shown in the figure. The moment of the couple is $\tau \text{ Nm}$. If the force at each end of the rod is $F$,then the magnitude of each force is (given $\sin 30^{\circ} = \cos 60^{\circ} = 0.5$):

The torque due to the force $\vec{F} = (2 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k})$ about the origin,acting on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = (\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})$,is:

$A$ force $\vec{F} = 5\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 5\hat{k}$ acts on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = \hat{i} - 2\hat{j} + \hat{k}$. What is the torque about the origin?

Show that the moment of a couple does not depend on the point about which you take the moments.
