JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 6. system of particles and rotational motion

The torque of a force \(5 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}-7 \hat{k}\) about the origin is \(\tau\). If the force acts on a particle whose position vector is \(2 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+\hat{k}\), then the value of \(\tau\) will be.

  1. A \(11 \hat{i}+19 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\)
  2. B \(-11 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}-16 \hat{k}\)
  3. C \(-17 \hat{i}+19 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\)
  4. D \(17 \hat{i}+9 \hat{j}+16 \hat{k}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\vec{\tau}=\vec{r} \times \vec{F}=\left|\begin{array}{ccc}i & j & k \\ 2 & 2 & 1 \\ 5 & 3 & -7\end{array}\right|\) \(=i(-14-3)-j(-14-5)+\hat{k}(6-10)\) \(=-17 \hat{i}+19 \hat{j}-4 \hat{k}\)
