What is the torque of the force `vecF=3hati-2hatj+4hatk` acting at a point `vecr=2hati+3hatj+5hatk` about the origin?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`vec tau = vec r xx vecF = |(hati,hatj,hatk),(2,3,5),(3,-2,4)|`
`tau = (12 - (-10)) hati + (15 - 8) hatj + (-4 -9) hatk `
` tau = 22 hati + 7 hatj - 13 hatk `
