The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the torque \(\vec{T}\) of a force \(\vec{F}\) acting on a particle with position vector \(\vec{r}\) about the origin. We will check the validity of the statements given in the question regarding the dot products of these vectors. ### Step 1: Understanding Torque The torque \(\vec{T}\) about the origin due to a force \(\vec{F}\) acting on a particle located at position \(\vec{r}\) is given by the cross product: \[ \vec{T} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F} \] ### Step 2: Analyzing the Dot Product \( \vec{r} \cdot \vec{T} \) We need to evaluate the dot product \( \vec{r} \cdot \vec{T} \): \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{T} = \vec{r} \cdot (\vec{r} \times \vec{F}) \] Using the property of the dot product, we know that the dot product of a vector with a vector that is perpendicular to it is zero. Since \(\vec{T}\) (torque) is perpendicular to both \(\vec{r}\) and \(\vec{F}\): \[ \vec{r} \cdot \vec{T} = 0 \] ### Step 3: Analyzing the Dot Product \( \vec{F} \cdot \vec{T} \) Next, we evaluate the dot product \( \vec{F} \cdot \vec{T} \): \[ \vec{F} \cdot \vec{T} = \vec{F} \cdot (\vec{r} \times \vec{F}) \] Again, using the property of the dot product, since \(\vec{T}\) is perpendicular to \(\vec{F}\): \[ \vec{F} \cdot \vec{T} = 0 \] ### Conclusion Both dot products \( \vec{r} \cdot \vec{T} = 0 \) and \( \vec{F} \cdot \vec{T} = 0 \) hold true. Therefore, the statements in the question are correct. ### Final Answer The correct option is that both \( \vec{r} \cdot \vec{T} = 0 \) and \( \vec{F} \cdot \vec{T} = 0 \). ---
