A force `vecF = (2 hati + 3hatj) N` act on a particle whose position vector w.r.to origin `O` is `vecr = (5 hati - 2hatj) m`. Find the magnitude and direction of torque.

Verified by Experts

`vec(tau) = vecr xx vecF = (5 hati - 2 hatj) xx (2 hati + 3 hatj)`
`= 15 hatk + 4hatk = 19 hatk m`
Torque is 19 Nm along positive z-axis.
