Torque Calculation Using Cross Products in 3D
A rigid body has a pivot point at A with coordinates \((1, 2, 3)\). A force \(\vec{F} = (5, -3, 2)\) N is applied at point B with coordinates \((4, 0, 1)\). (a) Calculate the position vector \(\vec{r}\) from A to B. (b) Using the cross product, compute the torque \(\vec{\tau}\) about point A produced […]
