A force F⃗=4i^+3j^−2k^ N\vec F = 4\hat i + 3\hat j - 2\hat k\,\text{N} acts at point P(2, −1, 3) mP(2,\,-1,\,3)\,\text{m} in a Cartesian coordinate system with origin at O(0,0,0)O(0,0,0). A new origin O′O' is chosen at (1, 1, 1) m(1,\,1,\,1)\,\text{m}. Determine the torque of the force about the new origin O′O'. a) −7i^+16j^+10k^  N m-7\hat i + 16\hat j + 10\hat k \;\text{N m} b) 2i^−10j^−11k^  N m2\hat i - 10\hat j - 11\hat k \;\text{N m} c) −2i^+10j^+11k^  N m-2\hat i + 10\hat j + 11\hat k \;\text{N m} d) −2i^−10j^+11k^  N m-2\hat i - 10\hat j + 11\hat k \;\text{N m}
