A triangular plate is shown. A force F → = 4 i ^ - 3 j ^ is applied at point P . The torque at point P with respect to point O and Q are:
Options
- A- 15 - 20 3 , 15 - 20 3
- B15 + 20 3 , 15 - 20 3
- C15 - 20 3 , 15 + 20 3
- D- 15 + 20 3 , 15 + 20 3
Correct answer
A. - 15 - 20 3 , 15 - 20 3
Step-by-step solution
F → = 4 i ^ - 3 j ^ r → 1 = 5 i ^ + 5 3 j ^ and r → 2 = - 5 i ^ + 5 3 j ^ Torque about ' O ' τ → O = r → 1 × F → = - 15 - 20 3 k ^ Torque about ' Q ' τ → Q = r → 2 × F → = 15 - 20 3 k ^
