  1. Question 1

    Q1. Which mathematical vector operation correctly defines the torque vector τ in terms of position vector r and force vector F?

    • A) F x r
    • B) r x F
    • C) r . F
    • D) r + F

    Answer: r x F

    Explanation: Torque is defined as r x F. F x r results in the opposite direction. Option C is a scalar and cannot represent torque.
