Find the torque of a force 7veci+ 3vecj...

Find the torque of a force ` 7veci+ 3vecj - 5veck` about the origin. The force acts on a particle whose position vector is `veci-veci +veck`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here `r=hati-hatj+hatk`
and `F=7hati+3hatj-5hatk`
We shall use the determinant rule to find the torque `tau=rxxF`
`tau=|(hati,hatj,hatk),(1,-1,1),(7,3,-5)|=(5-3)hati-(-5-7)hatj+(3-(-7))hatk`
or `tau=2hati+12hatj+10hatk`
