If several forces act on a particle, the total torque on the particle may be obtained by first finding the resultant force and then taking torque of this resultant. Prove this. Is this result valid for the forces acting on different particles of a body in such a way that their lines of action intersect at a common point?

उत्तर
\[\text{Let } \overrightarrow{f_1},\overrightarrow{f_2},\overrightarrow{f_3},....\overrightarrow{f_n}\text{ be the forces acting on a point P.}\]
Let O be the point along which torques \(moments) will be taken.
Let:-
\[ \overrightarrow{f_1} + \overrightarrow{f_2} + \overrightarrow{f_3} + . . . + \overrightarrow{f_n} = \overrightarrow{R}..............(1)\]
Moments of force (torque) \[\overrightarrow{f_i}\] about O will be
\[ \overrightarrow{\tau_1} = \overrightarrow{OP} \times \overrightarrow{f_1} \]
The sum of the torques about O will be
\[ \overrightarrow{M} = \overrightarrow{OP} \times \overrightarrow{f_1} + \overrightarrow{OP} \times \overrightarrow{f_2} + . . . + \overrightarrow{OP} \times \overrightarrow{f_n} \]
\[ \Rightarrow \overrightarrow{M} = \overrightarrow{OP} \times \left( \overrightarrow{f_1} + \overrightarrow{f_2} + \overrightarrow{f_3} + . . . + \overrightarrow{f_n} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \overrightarrow{M} = \overrightarrow{OP} \times \overrightarrow{R}...............\left[\text{From (1)}\right]\]
Thus, we see that the torque of the resultant force \[\overrightarrow{R}\] of the forces \[\overrightarrow{f_1},\overrightarrow{f_2},\overrightarrow{f_3},.....,\overrightarrow{f_n} \] gives the sum of the moments of the torques.
