The torque of a force \(5 \hat i + 3 \hat j - 7 \hat k\) about the origin is \(\tau\). If the force acts on a particle whose position vector is \(2 \hat i + 2 \hat j + \hat k\), then the value of \(\tau\) will be: 
1. \(11 \hat{i}+19 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k} \)
2. \(-11 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}-16 \hat{k} \)
3. \(-17 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+19 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-4 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \)

Many of the trails seen at Yosemite National Park in America were constructed by the Civil Conservation Corps, an organization established under President Roosevelt's administration. One of the ways that they were able to move chunks of large granite was to make use of a fulcrum. Suppose a \(2.5~\text{m}\) steel bar is placed under a rock weighing \(3000~\text{N}\). A fulcrum is set \(0.5~\text{m}\) away from the rock to be moved. What force must be exerted on the other end of the bar to move the rock?
(neglect the mass of the bar)
              
1. \(600~\text{N}\)
2. \(750~\text{N}\)
3. \(3000~\text{N}\)
4. \(12000~\text{N}\)

2. The brother.
3. They both exert the same torque.
4. It depends upon the length of the door.
