Problem

A 30 N30\,\text{N} force is applied at the point P(0.30 m, 0.40 m)P(0.30\,\text{m},\,0.40\,\text{m}) and is directed toward the point Q(0.70 m, 0.60 m)Q(0.70\,\text{m},\,0.60\,\text{m}) in the same plane. Determine the magnitude of the torque of this force about the origin. (All coordinates are measured in metres.) a) 4.0 N m4.0\,\text{N m} b) 9.0 N m9.0\,\text{N m} c) 6.7 N m6.7\,\text{N m} d) 13 N m13\,\text{N m}
