Problem 22:  To study torque experimentally, you apply a force to a beam. One end of the beam is attached to a pivot that allows the beam to rotate freely. The pivot is taken as the origin or your coordinate system. You apply a force of F = Fx i + Fy j + Fz k at a point r = rx i + ry j + rz k on the beam.   Part (a)  Enter a vector expression for the resulting torque, in terms of the unit vectors i, j, k and the components of F and r. Part (b)  Calculate the magnitude of the torque, in newton meters, when the components of the position and force vectors have the values rx = 2.19m, ry = 0.025 m, rz = 0.035 m, Fx = -7.8 N, Fy = 1.2 N, Fz = 2.2 N. Part (c)  If the moment of inertia of the beam with respect to the pivot is I = 494 kg˙m2, calculate the magnitude of the angular acceleration of the beam about the pivot, in radians per second squared.
