  1. A

    r⃗⋅τ⃗=0\vec{r} \cdot \vec{\tau}=0r⋅τ=0 and F⃗⋅τ⃗≠0\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau} \neq 0F⋅τ=0

  2. B

    r→⋅τ⃗≠0\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \vec{\tau} \neq 0r⋅τ=0 and F⃗⋅τ⃗=0\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau}=0F⋅τ=0

  3. C

    r⃗⋅τ⃗>0\vec{r} \cdot \vec{\tau}>0r⋅τ>0 and F⃗⋅τ⃗<0\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau} < 0F⋅τ<0

  4. D

    r→⋅τ⃗=0\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \vec{\tau}=0r⋅τ=0 and F⃗⋅τ⃗=0\vec{F} \cdot \vec{\tau}=0F⋅τ=0
