Question

If $\overline{F}$ is the force and $\overline{r}$ is the radius vector, then the torque is :

• A. $\overline{r}\times \overline{F}$
• B. $\overline{r}.\overline{F}$.
• C. $|\overline{r}|.|\overline{F}|$
• D. $\frac{|\overline{r}|}{|\overline{F}|}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\overline{r}\times \overline{F}$

Torque is defined as $r$ X $F$
