If is the force acting on a particle having position vector
and
be the torque of this force about the origin, then:
As discussed in
Torque -
- wherein
This can be calculated by using either
= perpendicular distance from origin to the line of force.
= component of force perpendicular to line joining force.
Since, is perpendicular to the plane of
and
Hence the dot product of and
and
is zero.
