- A cube having a side of 10 cm with unknown mass and 200 gm mass were hung at two ends of an uniform rigid rod of 27 cm long. The rod along with masses was placed on a wedge keeping the distance between wedge point and 200 gm weight as 25 cm. Initially the masses were not at balance. A beaker is placed beneath the unknown mass and water is added slowly to it. At given point the masses were in balance and half volume of the unknown mass was inside the water. (Take the density of the unknown mass is more than that of the water, the mass did not absorb water and water density is 1 gm/cm$^3$.) The unknown mass is ______ kg.
- 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:

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.
