If \(\vec F\) is the force acting on a particle having position vector \(\vec r\) and \(\vec \tau\) be the torque of this force about the origin, then:

1. \(\vec r\cdot\vec \tau\neq0\text{ and }\vec F\cdot\vec \tau=0\)
2. \(\vec r\cdot\vec \tau>0\text{ and }\vec F\cdot\vec \tau<0\)
3. \(\vec r\cdot\vec \tau=0\text{ and }\vec F\cdot\vec \tau=0\)
4. \(\vec r\cdot\vec \tau=0\text{ and }\vec F\cdot\vec \tau\neq0\)

A block \(A\) is pushed on a smooth horizontal plane by applying a horizontal force \(F ,\) which causes an acceleration of \({\dfrac g 4}\) (\(g\): acceleration due to gravity). The block does not topple, even though the force acts at its highest point. The normal reaction shifts forward by:
                
1. \({\dfrac b 2}\) 2. \({ \dfrac b 4}\)
3. \({\dfrac b 8}\) 4. \(\dfrac b 3\)

A uniform rod of length \(200~ \text{cm}\) and mass \(500~ \text g\) is balanced on a wedge placed at \(40~ \text{cm}\) mark. A mass of \(2~\text{kg}\) is suspended from the rod at \(20~ \text{cm}\) and another unknown mass \(m\) is suspended from the rod at \(160~\text{cm}\) mark as shown in the figure. What would be the value of \(m\) such that the rod is in equilibrium?
(Take \(g=10~( \text {m/s}^2)\)

                    

1. \({\dfrac 1 6}~\text{kg}\) 2. \({\dfrac 1 {12}}~ \text{kg}\)
3. \({\dfrac 1 2}~ \text{kg}\) 4.  \({\dfrac 1 3}~ \text{kg}\)

A rod of weight \(w\) is supported by two parallel knife edges, \(A\) and \(B\), and is in equilibrium in a horizontal position. The knives are at a distance \(d\) from each other. The centre of mass of the rod is at a distance \(x \) from \(A\). The normal reaction on \(A\) is:
1. \(wx \over d\) 2. \(wd \over x\)
3. \(w(d-x) \over x\) 4. \(w(d-x) \over d\)
