$A$ force $\vec{F} = 4\hat{i} + 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}$ is applied at the intersection point of the plane $x = 2$ and the $x$-axis. The magnitude of the torque of this force about the point $(2, 3, 4)$ is .......... . (Round off to the nearest integer)

What is the torque of the force $\vec{F} = (2\hat{i} - 3\hat{j} + 4\hat{k}) \text{ N}$ acting at the point $\vec{r} = (3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) \text{ m}$ about the origin?

Let a force $\vec{F} = -F\hat{k}$ act on the origin of a Cartesian frame of reference. The moment of force about a point $(1, -1)$ will be

$A$ force $F = 2.0\,N$ acts on a particle $P$ in the $xz-$ plane. The force $F$ is parallel to the $x-$ axis. The particle $P$ (as shown in the figure) is at a distance $3\,m$ from the origin,and the line joining $P$ with the origin makes an angle of $30^\circ$ with the $x-$ axis. The magnitude of the torque on $P$ with respect to the origin $O$ (in $N-m$) is:

$A$ force $\overrightarrow{F} = 4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ acts at a point $\overrightarrow{r_1} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$. The torque about the point $\overrightarrow{r_2} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$ is:
