Solution

The correct option is C 203^k N-m
Given: r=(103t3 ^i+5t2 ^j) m

and,

a=d2rdt2=(20t ^i+10 ^j) m/s2

From Newton's second law , we can write that,

F=ma=0.1×(20t ^i+10 ^j)=(2t ^i+ ^j) N

At t=1 s,

r=103×13 ^i+5×12 ^j=(103 ^i+5 ^j) m

F=(2×1) ^i+^j=(2 ^i+ ^j) N

Now, Torque due to this force with respect to origin is

τ=r×F=∣ ∣ ∣ ∣^i^j^k10350210∣ ∣ ∣ ∣

τ=^i(00)^j(00)+^k(10310)τ=(203^k) N-m

Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
Note:- For a rigid body rotating about a fixed axis and being acted upon by a force F. Torque of F about O(point on the axis of rotation) is given by τ=r×F
