Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(-10 \hat{ i }+10 \hat{ j }+5 \hat{ k }\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{\tau}=\vec{r} \times \vec{F}\)

\(=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 2 & 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 & -2\end{array}\right|\)

\(=\hat{\hat{i}}(-2-8)-\hat{ j }(-4-6)+\hat{ k }(8-3)\)

\(=-10 \hat{ i }+10 \hat{ j }+5 \hat{ k }\)
