Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \vec{\tau}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}\hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & -1 & 1\end{array}\right| \\ & \vec{\tau}=\hat{\mathrm{k}}(-1-1)=-2 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ &…
