Force F= (2.84 i - 1.39 k)N acts on a pebble with position vector r= (6.54 j - 1.60 k)m , relative to the origin. What is the resulting torque acting on the pebble about (a) the origin and (b) a point with coordinates (4.96 m, 0, -1.43 m)?
a) The position vector about the origin is
The force is
The torque about the origin is
b) The position vector about (4.96 m, 0, -1.43 m) is
The torque is
This gives
