    How do I determine the magnitude of torque from a cross product?

    [SOLVED] the magnitude of torque Homework Statement Determine the magnitude of the torque about A by evaluating lABxFl (the magnitude of vector AB cross vector F) where AB = -15i + 12j and F= -200lbs (cos theta)i - 200lbs (sin theta)j Homework Equations cross product and maybe the...
