Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(-17 \hat{i}+19 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{\tau}=\vec{r} \times \vec{F}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}i & j & k \\ 2 & 2 & 1 \\ 5 & 3 & -7\end{array}\right|\)

\(=i(-14-3)-j(-14-5)+\hat{k}(6-10)\)

\(=-17 \hat{i}+19 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\)
