When a force of $6.0 \, N$ is exerted at $30^{\circ}$ to a wrench at a distance of $8 \, cm$ from the nut,it is just able to loosen the nut. What force $F$ would be sufficient to loosen it,if it acts perpendicularly to the wrench at $16 \, cm$ from the nut (in $, N$)?

  • A
    $3$
  • B
    $6$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $1.5$

$A$ 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?

Which forces are needed for the rotational motion about a fixed axis?

The position vectors of two particles of a rigid body are $(3, 0, 0) \ m$ and $(0, 3, 0) \ m$. Forces of $(0, 1, 0) \ N$ and $(0, -1, 0) \ N$ act on these particles respectively. The torque of the couple is ....... $Nm$.

The vector sum of a system of non-collinear forces acting on a rigid body is given to be nonzero. If the vector sum of all the torques due to the system of forces about a certain point is found to be zero,does this mean that it is necessarily zero about any arbitrary point?
