If F =(5 i -10 j ) and r =(4 i -3 j ) , then the torque acting on the object will be
Options
- Ai -2 j
- B2 i - j
- C25 k
- D-25 k
Correct answer
D. -25 k
Step-by-step solution
Torque is given by the cross product = r F . With r = 4 i - 3 j and F = 5 i - 10 j , compute the determinant: = vmatrix i & j & k 4 & -3 & 0 5 & -10 & 0 vmatrix = k ((4)(-10) - (-3)(5)) = k (-40 + 15) = -25 k . The result matches option D (-25 k ) .
