How to calculate torque on a grid. Am I doing this right?
So on a grid I want to calculate the magnitude of net torque with respect to point 0. Let's assume I have a vector acting on a point at r = (3i + 2j). The vector acting on the particle is F1 = 10 N at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the x axis.
So would the torque of F1 be
T(F1) = (3i + 2j) x (10cos(30)i + 10sin(30)j)
or
T(F1) = (3i + 2j) x 10sin(30)?
