Problem

The point of application of a force is P(5 m, ⁣−2 m, ⁣4 m)P(5\,\text{m},\!-2\,\text{m},\!4\,\text{m}). A new origin O′(1 m, ⁣1 m, ⁣−1 m)O'(1\,\text{m},\!1\,\text{m},\!-1\,\text{m}) is chosen. The force at PP is F⃗=2i^+3j^−4k^ N\vec F = 2\hat i + 3\hat j - 4\hat k\,\text{N}. Determine the torque of the force about the new origin O′O'.
