6\,\text{N}

force acts along the positive

y

–axis at a point located on the positive

x

–axis

\bigl(\mathbf{r} = x\,\mathbf{i}\bigr)

. Using the right-hand convention for rotation, the direction of the torque about the origin is a) along the

-z

–axis b) along the

+x

–axis c) along the

+z

–axis d) along the

+y

–axis
