The net torque on the rocket about the point of rotation is given by the cross-product between the thrust force, →F, and the position vector, →r: \[\begin{aligned} \vec\tau^{net} = \ve...The net torque on the rocket about the point of rotation is given by the cross-product between the thrust force, →F, and the position vector, →r: →τnet=→r×→F and will point in the positive z direction (as given by the right hand rule). →r and →F are perpendicular, so the magnitude of the net torque is given by: τnet=rFsin(90∘)=RF where R is the mag…
