Let a force F =- F k acts on the origin of cartesian frame of reference. The moment of force about a point (1,-1) will be
Options
- A- F ( + )
- B- F ( - )
- CF ( - )
- DF ( + )
Correct answer
D. F ( + )
Step-by-step solution
The point P lies at (1,-1) i.e, P = i - j PO = O - P =- P =- i + j Torque about point P : = PO F =(- i + j ) (- F k ) = F [( i k )+ k j ] Using: i j = k ; j k = i ; k i = j = F (- i - j )=- F ( i + j )
