The torque of a force 5 i ^ + 3 j ^ - 7 k ^ about the origin is τ . If the force acts on a particle whose position vector is 2 i ^ + 2 j ^ + k ^ , then the value of τ will be
Options
- A11 i ^ + 19 j ^ - 4 k ^
- B- 11 i ^ + 9 j ^ - 16 k ^
- C- 17 i ^ + 19 j ^ - 4 k ^
- D17 i ^ + 9 j ^ + 16 k ^
Correct answer
C. - 17 i ^ + 19 j ^ - 4 k ^
Step-by-step solution
Using the determinant rule to find the torque τ → = r → × F → = i ^ j ^ k ^ 2 2 1 5 3 - 7 = i ^ - 14 - 3 - j ^ - 14 - 5 + k ^ 6 - 10 Thus, the value of τ → = - 17 i ^ + 19 j ^ - 4 k ^
