Question:

A metal bar is in the xy-plane with one end of the bar at the origin. A force F = (7.00 N)î + (–3.00 N)ĵ is applied to the bar at the point x = 3.00 m, y = 4.00 m.

(a) In terms of unit vectors î and ĵ, what is the position vector for the point where the force is applied?

(b) What are the magnitude and direction of the torque with respect to the origin produced by F?
