Answer the following questions about torque. Let $\mathbf{r}=\overrightarrow{O P}=10 \mathbf{i} .$ Which is greater (in magnitude): the torque about $O$ when a force $\mathbf{F}=5 \mathbf{i}-5 \mathbf{k}$ is applied at $P$ or the torque about $O$ when a force $\mathbf{F}=4 \mathbf{i}-3 \mathbf{j}$ is applied at $P ?$
