Question

A force F\=−2i^+5j^N acts at r\=4i^−3j^m. What is the magnitude of the torque about the origin?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

τ = r×F = |i^j^k^4−30−250| = k^(4×5−(−3)×(−2)) = k^(20−6) = 14k^Nm. Magnitude = 14Nm. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 14 Nm. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
