    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?

    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...
