Exam was preety good. There was like only like one center mass question, where you could even use the momentum conservation to solve
 
8:17 PM
@Abcd I get (1): i.imgur.com/Pf2N6Xy.jpg

@Mr.Xcoder I think it should be 4th one.
The force $F_2$ contributes to torque in +Z direction.
And there's no contribution by $F_1$ along z axis.
Right?
 
@Dante Isn't $F_2$ in XY plane?
That's what the question states
 
Oh, sorry, I was using right hand thumb rule to find out the direction, but angle was obtuse there.
Nvm, your answer is correct.
 
But I've got a mistake in there as well
 
What is it?
 
For $F_2$, $F_{2x}=-F/2$ and $F_{2y}=-F\sqrt 3/2$.
That swaps some signs
I forgot the negative signs
So (4) should be correct indeed.
 
8:35 PM
Oh, but you've still got the right answer I guess. Torque due to $F_2$ (which is along z axis) has to be negative.
 
Hmm, by applying the right hand rule I see it should be in the positive Oz direction
 
Angle between r and F is 120
Just checked the key, 1st option it is.
 
Umm...
 
If you make r and F co-initial vectors, you will find angle between them is 120
 
that means I've made 2 mistakes in there
@Dante Not 150?
 
8:38 PM
Both the mistakes cancelled out each other :p
Ah, sorry 150
It's 2 am here, I think I must sleep
;_;
Goodbye @Mr.Xcoder !
 
Good night, I guess
