(B) Given: Force $\overrightarrow{F} = (2\hat{i} - 4\hat{j} + 2\hat{k}) \ N$ and position vector $\overrightarrow{r} = (3\hat{i} + 2\hat{j} - 4\hat{k}) \ m$.The torque $\overrightarrow{	au}$ is given by the cross product $\overrightarrow{r} 	imes \overrightarrow{F}$:$\overrightarrow{	au} = \begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \ 3 & 2 & -4 \ 2 & -4 & 2 \end{vmatrix}$Expanding the determinant:$\overrightarrow{	au} = \hat{i}(2 	imes 2 - (-4) 	imes (-4)) - \hat{j}(3 	imes 2 - (-4) 	imes 2) + \hat{k}(3 	imes (-4) - 2 	imes 2)$$\overrightarrow{	au} = \hat{i}(4 - 16) - \hat{j}(6 + 8) + \hat{k}(-12 - 4)$$\overrightarrow{	au} = -12\hat{i} - 14\hat{j} - 16\hat{k} \ N-m$The magnitude of torque is $|\overrightarrow{	au}| = \sqrt{(-12)^2 + (-14)^2 + (-16)^2}$$|\overrightarrow{	au}| = \sqrt{144 + 196 + 256} = \sqrt{596} \approx 24.41 \ N-m$.Thus,the correct option is $B$.

$A$ force of $(2\hat i - 4\hat j + 2\hat k) \ N$ acts at a point $(3\hat i + 2\hat j - 4\hat k) \ m$ from the origin. The magnitude of torque is ......... $N-m$.

$A$ force $\vec{F} = (2\hat{i} - \hat{j} + 3\hat{k}) \text{ N}$ is acting at a point $(-1, 2, -3) \text{ m}$. Find its torque about the origin.

Which type of motion exists due to the moment of force (couple)?

Part of the tuning arrangement of a radio consists of a wheel which is acted on by two parallel constant forces as shown in the figure. If the wheel rotates just once, the work done will be about (diameter of the wheel = $0.05\ m$). (in $J$)

Show that the moment of a couple does not depend on the point about which you take the moments.
