10.6 Exercise 21

Avg difficulty 2.5

What is the torque about the origin of the force (5.0i^−2.0j^+1.0k^)N\left(5.0 \hat{i} - 2.0 \hat{j} + 1.0 \hat{k}\right) \text{N} if it is applied at the point whose position is: r→=(−2.0i^+4.0j^)m?\overset{\rightarrow}{r} = \left(−2.0 \hat{i} + 4.0 \hat{j}\right) \text{m}?
