  1.Yes, under any circumstance there is such a point.
  2.No.
  3.Yes, but only if the force is centripetal.

Question 2

If the torque acting on an object about a certain axis is zero, what can we say about the angular momentum of this object with respect to this axis?

  2.It is constant.
  3.It can never be zero.
  4.Nothing, angular momentum has nothing to do with torque.
