Graduate Position vector in torque (and angular momentum)
Thank you so much. So in my case the torque is simply \vec r(t) \times \vec F(t), right?- chuchung712

Graduate Position vector in torque (and angular momentum)
Torque is defined as the cross product of position vector and force, i.e. \vec \tau = \vec r \times \vec F . However the force vector \vec F is fixed, but the choice of origin is arbitrary, making \vec r also arbitrary. Does it make the torque vector also arbitrary, which apparently shouldn't...- chuchung712
