Exam was preety good. There was like only like one center mass question, where you could even use the momentum conservation to solve

@Abcd I get (1):

@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?
Mr. Xcoder
@Dante Isn't $F_2$ in XY plane?
That's what the question states
Dante
Oh, sorry, I was using right hand thumb rule to find out the direction, but angle was obtuse there.
Nvm, your answer is correct.
Mr. Xcoder
But I've got a mistake in there as well
Dante
What is it?
Mr. Xcoder
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.
Dante
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.
Mr. Xcoder
Hmm, by applying the right hand rule I see it should be in the positive Oz direction
Dante
Angle between r and F is 120
Just checked the key, 1st option it is.
Mr. Xcoder
Umm...
Dante
If you make r and F co-initial vectors, you will find angle between them is 120
Mr. Xcoder
that means I've made 2 mistakes in there
@Dante Not 150?
Dante
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 !
Mr. Xcoder
Good night, I guess
