Question

A force F=(^i+2^j+3^k) N acts at a point (4^i+3^j^k) m. Then the magnitude of torque about the point (^i+2^j+^k) m will be x N-m. The value of x is

Solution

Given
F=(^i+2^j+3^k) N
and, r=[(4^i+3^j^k)(^i+2^j+^k)]=3^i+^j2^k
Torque, τ=r×F=(3^i+^j2^k)×(^i+2^j+3^k)
τ=∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k312123∣ ∣ ∣=7^i11^j+5^k
Magnitude of torque, |τ|=195 Nm1
