Total torque about any line when resultant force is zero [closed]

While reading about rotational equilibrium in a book, I came across a statement which I was unable to understand: In general, the torque is different about different lines but it can be shown that if … the resultant force is zero, the total torque about any line perpendicular to the plane of the forces is equal. …

What is rotational potential energy?

Similarly, during rotational motion when a torque is applied to angularly accelerate a body, the work done by the torque leads to an increase in kinetic energy. … Shouldn't the total energy of the "system" including the person applying torque be conserved and the increase in kinetic energy be justified on the basis of the person's energy being decreased? …
