a.) A tension force, T, of magnitude 5.0 N is applied to the end of a bar at a distance r = 1.5 m from the axis of rotation O (represented by the black dot). The angle between the force and the distance vector, θ=25o. Calculate the magnitude and direction of the torque vector. b.) In the previous problem, let’s make some changes. The bar is now a different length and reoriented within 3-D space such that the r is a vector that has components (3,2,0) in the xyz coordinate frame, and F is a vector with components (4,5,0). What is the torque exerted on the rigid body about a pivot located at the origin? Express your answer in i, j, k, components. Assume all distances are represented in meters and forces in newtons.
