### Understanding Torque and Vector DirectionIn this problem, you will be given pictures of two vectors, \( \vec{r} \) (position vector) and \( \vec{F} \) (force vector). Based on these two vectors, you should determine the direction of the torque vector, \( \vec{T} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F} \). Possible answers include: **left, right, up, down, in,** or **out**.#### Problem 1**Diagram 1:**- **Vectors:** - \( \vec{r} \) is shown as a green arrow pointing to the right. - \( \vec{F} \) is shown as a blue arrow pointing up.**Question:** What is the direction of the torque vector?*Submit your answer:* [Text Box] *Tries:* 0/2---#### Problem 2**Diagram 2:**- **Vectors:** - \( \vec{r} \) is shown as a green arrow pointing to the right. - \( \vec{F} \) is shown as a blue arrow pointing up.**Question:** What is the direction of the torque vector?*Submit your answer:* [Text Box] *Tries:* 0/2---#### Problem 3**Diagram 3:**- **Vectors:** - \( \vec{r} \) is shown as a green arrow pointing down. - \( \vec{F} \) is shown as a blue arrow pointing to the left.**Question:** What is the direction of the torque vector?*Submit your answer:* [Text Box] *Tries:* 0/2---### ExplanationFor each problem, use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the torque vector:- Point your fingers in the direction of \( \vec{r} \).- Curl them toward the direction of \( \vec{F} \).- Your thumb will point in the direction of \( \vec{T} \).Imaginatively thinking about the cross product will help you in solving these vector direction problems effectively.

A pair of forces with equal magnitudes, opposite directions, and different line of action is called a "couple". When a couple acts on a rigid object, the couple produces a torque that does not depend on the location of the axis. The figure shoes a couple acting on a tire wrench, each force being perpendicular to the wrench. Let L=0.438 m and F =20.6 N. Determine the torque produced by the couple when the axis is perpendiular to the tire and passe through (a) point A, (b) point B, (c) point C

Problem 22: To study torque experimentally, you apply a force to a beam. One end of the beam is attached to a pivot that allows the beam to rotate freely. The pivot is taken as the origin or your coordinate system. You apply a force of F = Fx i + Fy j + Fz k at a point r = rx i + ry j + rz k on the beam. Part (a) Enter a vector expression for the resulting torque, in terms of the unit vectors i, j, k and the components of F and r. Part (b) Calculate the magnitude of the torque, in newton meters, when the components of the position and force vectors have the values rx = 2.19m, ry = 0.025 m, rz = 0.035 m, Fx = -7.8 N, Fy = 1.2 N, Fz = 2.2 N. Part (c) If the moment of inertia of the beam with respect to the pivot is I = 494 kg˙m2, calculate the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the beam about the pivot, in radians per second squared.
