Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(195\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{\tau}=\left(\overrightarrow{ r}_{2}-\overrightarrow{ r }_{1}\right) \times \overrightarrow{ F }\)

\(=[(4 \hat{ i }+3 \hat{ j }-\hat{ k })-(\hat{ i }+2 \hat{ j }+\hat{ k })] \times \overrightarrow{ F }\)

\(=(3 \hat{i}+\hat{j}-2 \hat{k}) \times(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k})\)

\(\tau=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 3 & 1 & -2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right|\)

\(=7 \hat{ i }-11 \hat{ j }+5 \hat{ k }\)

\(|\vec{\tau}|=\sqrt{195}\)
