Question

What is the direction of the torque for each of the following situations?

 

  • right is in the positive x-direction
  • left is in the negative x-direction
  • up is in the positive y-direction
  • down is in the negative y-direction
 
 

r vector is up, F vector is down.

 

r vector is down, F vector is to the right

 

r vector is to the right, F vector is also to the right.

 

r vector is to the right, F vector is down.

 

r vector is to the right, F vector is up.

 

r vector is up, F vector is to the left
