If force $\vec{F} = -3 \hat{i} + \hat{j} + 5 \hat{k}$ acts at a position vector $\vec{r} = 7 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j} + \hat{k}$,then the torque $\vec{\tau}$ acting at that point is:

  • A
    $(14 \hat{i} - 38 \hat{j} + 16 \hat{k})$
  • B
    $(-14 \hat{i} + 34 \hat{j} - 16 \hat{k})$
  • C
    $(21 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 4 \hat{k})$
  • D
    $(4 \hat{i} + 4 \hat{j} + 6 \hat{k})$

In rotational motion,which quantity is analogous to force in linear motion?

$A$ 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 ............. $FR$.
