Which component of torque is responsible for rotation about the $Z$-axis?

If $\vec{F} = (5 \hat{i} - 10 \hat{j}) \text{ N}$ and $\vec{r} = (4 \hat{i} - 3 \hat{j}) \text{ m}$,then the torque $\vec{\tau}$ acting on the object will be:

The magnitude of torque on a particle of mass $1\,kg$ is $2.5\,Nm$ about the origin. If the force acting on it is $1\,N$,and the distance of the particle from the origin is $5\,m$,the angle between the force and the position vector is (in radians)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving along a trajectory given by $x = x_0 + a \cos \omega_1 t$ and $y = y_0 + b \sin \omega_2 t$. The torque acting on the particle about the origin at $t = 0$ is:

Why are the components of position vectors along the axis of rotation not needed for determining the torque in a rigid body?
