Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\hat{i}-\hat{k}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} \tau & =\dot{r} \times \dot{F} \\ \tau & =\left|\begin{array}{lll}\hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k} \\ 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right| \\ \tau & =\hat{i}(2-1)-\hat{j}[0]+\hat{k}(1-2) \\ & =\hat{i}-\hat{k}\end{aligned}\)
