The magnitude of torque on a particle of mass $1\,kg$ is $2.5\, Nm$ about the origin. If the force acting on it is $1\, N$, and the distance of the particle from the origin is $5\,m$, the angle between the force and the position vector is (in radians) :
- $\frac{\pi }{8}$
- $\frac{\pi }{6}$
- $\frac{\pi }{4}$
- $\frac{\pi }{3}$
The Correct Option is B

Top Questions on torque
- The coordinates of a particle with respect to origin in a given reference frame is \( (1, 1, 1) \) meters. If a force of \( \mathbf{F} = \hat{i} - \hat{j} + \hat{k} \) acts on the particle, then the magnitude of torque (with respect to origin) in the z-direction is:

Let \( A = \{-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3\} \). A relation \( R \) is defined such that \( xRy \) if \( y = \max(x, 1) \). The number of elements required to make it reflexive is \( l \), the number of elements required to make it symmetric is \( m \), and the number of elements in the relation \( R \) is \( n \). Then the value of \( l + m + n \) is equal to:

Concepts Used:
Torque
Torque is a moment of force. Torque is measured as a force that causeque is also defined as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation. Torque is chs an object to rotate about an axis and is responsible for the angular acceleration. Characterized with “T”.
How is Torque Calculated?
Torque is calculated as the magnitude of the torque vector T for a torque produced by a given force F
T = F. Sin (θ)
Where,
r - length of the moment arm,
θ - the angle between the force vector and the moment arm.
