A force \(\overrightarrow{ F }=4 \hat{ i }+3 \hat{ j }+4 \hat{ k }\) is applied on an intersection point of \(x =2\) plane and \(x\) -axis. The magnitude of torque of this force about a point \((2,3,4)\) is.......... . (Round off to the Nearest Integer)
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(20\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\vec{\tau}=\overrightarrow{ r } \times \overrightarrow{ F }\)
\(\overrightarrow{ r }=(2 \hat{ i })-(2 \hat{ i }+3 \hat{ j }+4 \hat{ k })=-3 \hat{ j }-4 \hat{ k }\)
\( \overrightarrow{ F }=4 \hat{ i }+3 \hat{ j }+4 \hat{ k }\)
\(\vec{\tau}=\overrightarrow{ r } \times \overrightarrow{ F }=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{i} & \hat{ j } & \hat{ k } \\ 0 & -3 & -4 \\ 4 & 3 & 4\end{array}\right|\)
\(\quad=\hat{ i }(-12+12)-\hat{ j }(0+16)+\hat{ k }(0+12)\)
\(=-16 \hat{ i }+12 \hat{ k }\)
\(\therefore \quad|\vec{\tau}|=\sqrt{16^{2}+12^{2}}=20\)
