System Of Particles And Rotational Motion

Question
CBSEENPH11026181

A force of -F k^ acts on O, the origin of the coordinate systems. The torque about the point (1, -1 ) is

  • F i^ - j^

  • - F i^ + j^

  • F i^ + j^ 

  • -F i^ - j^

Solution

C.

F i^ + j^ 

τ = r × F

τ = i^ - j^ × -F k^      =F -i^  ×  k^  + j^  ×  k^    =F j^ + i^τ = F i^ + j^
