Let \(\vec{F}\) be a force acting on a particle having position vector \(\vec{r}\). Let \(\vec{\tau}\) be the torque of this force about the origin, then:

1. \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{\tau}=0\) and \(\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau}=0\)
2. \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{\tau}=0\) but \(\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau} \neq 0\)
3. \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{\tau} \neq 0\) but \(\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau}=0\)
4. \(\vec{r} \cdot \vec{\tau} \neq 0\) and \(\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau} \neq 0\)

The density of a rod gradually decreases from one end to the other. It is pivoted at an end so that it can move about a vertical axis through the pivot. A horizontal force F is applied on the free end in a direction perpendicular to the rod. The quantities, that do not depend on which end of the rod is pivoted, are

1. angular acceleration

2. angular velocity when the rod completes one rotation

3. angular momentum when the rod completes one rotation

4. torque of the applied force
