Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-15-20 \sqrt{3}, 15-20 \sqrt{3}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ F }=4 \hat{ i }-3 \hat{ j }\)

\(\overrightarrow{ r }_{1}=5 \hat{ i }+5 \sqrt{3} \hat{ j } \& \overrightarrow{ r }_{2}=-5 \hat{ i }+5 \sqrt{3} \hat{j}\)

Torque about \('O'\)

\(\vec{\tau}_{0}=\overrightarrow{ r }_{1} \times \overrightarrow{ F }=(-15-20 \sqrt{3}) \hat{ k }=(15+20 \sqrt{3})(-\hat{ k })\)

Torque about \('Q'\)

\(\vec{\tau}_{Q}=\overrightarrow{ r }_{2} \times \overrightarrow{ F }=(-15+20 \sqrt{3}) \hat{ k }=(15-20 \sqrt{3})(-\hat{ k })\)
