Chapter 11, Problem 24P

In unit-vector notation, what is the torque about the origin on a jar of jalapeño peppers located at coordinates (3.0 m, −2.0 m, 4.0 m) due to (a) force $\stackrel{\to }{F_1}=\left(3.0\text{N}\right)\hat{i}-\left(\text{4}\text{.0}\text{N}\right)\hat{j}+\left(\text{5}\text{.0}\text{N}\right)\hat{k}$, (b) force $\stackrel{\to }{F_2}=\left(-3.0\text{N}\right)\hat{i}-\left(\text{4}\text{.0}\text{N}\right)\hat{j}+\left(\text{5}\text{.0}\text{N}\right)\hat{k}$, and (c) the vector sum of $\stackrel{\to }{F_1}$ and $\stackrel{\to }{F_2}$? (d) Repeat part (c) for the torque about the point with coordinates (3.0 m, 2.0 m, 4.0 m).
