To solve the question, we need to understand the concept of torque (moment of force) and how it relates to the direction of rotation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Torque**: - Torque (or moment of force) is a measure of the rotational effect of a force applied at a distance from a pivot point. It is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Torque} (\tau) = \text{Force} (F) \times \text{Distance} (d) \times \sin(\theta) ...
