The vector sum of a system of non-collinear forces acting on a rigid body is gives to be non-zero. If the vector sum of all the torques due to the system of forces about a certain point is found to be zero, does this mean that it is necessarily zero about any arbitrary point?

Electric field is the electrostatic force per unit charge acting on a vanishingly small test charge placed at that point. It is a vector quantity and the electric field inside a charged conductor is zero.

A force F=2hat(i)+hat(j)-hat(k) acts at point A whose position vector is 2hat(i)-hat(j) . Find the moment of force F about the origin.

Different points in earth are at slightly different distancesfrom the sun and hence experience different forces due to gravitation. For a rigid body, we know that if various forces act at various points in it, the resultant motion is as if a net force acts on the C.M. (centre of mass ) causing rotation around an axis thorugh the C.M. For the earth-sun system (approximating the earth as a uniform density sphere)
