The moment of the force, at point about the point is given by:
Let the point of application of the force be and the reference point be . The position vector of the point of application is . The position vector of the point about which the torque is to be calculated is .
The position vector of the point of application with respect to the reference point is: .
The torque (moment of force) is given by the cross product of and : .
