Problem

A horizontal force

\vec{F}=(0,-15,0)\,\text{N}

is applied at the door handle located at

(0.8,0,1.0)\,\text{m}

with the hinge taken as the origin and the hinge line along the

z

-axis. (i) Find the torque vector of the force about the hinge. (ii) Determine the magnitude of this torque to one decimal place.
