  • B
    $\vec{r} \cdot \vec{\tau} \neq 0$ and $\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau} = 0$
  • C
    $\vec{r} \cdot \vec{\tau} \neq 0$ and $\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau} \neq 0$

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

The torque of a force $\vec{F} = 5 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} - 7 \hat{k}$ about the origin is $\vec{\tau}$. If the force acts on a particle whose position vector is $\vec{r} = 2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,then the value of $\vec{\tau}$ will be:
