A force F\=7i^+3j^N acts at r\=−2i^+1j^m. What is the magnitude of the torque about the origin?

τ = r×F = |i^j^k^−210730| = k^((−2)×3−1×7) = k^(−6−7) = −13k^Nm. Magnitude = 13Nm. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 13 Nm. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

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

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.

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

τ = r×F = |i^j^k^−3−20540| = k^((−3)×4−(−2)×5) = k^(−12+10) = −2k^Nm. Magnitude = 2Nm. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 2 Nm. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.

A force F\=4i^−3j^N acts at r\=2i^+1j^m. What is the magnitude of the torque about the origin?

τ = r×F = |i^j^k^2104−30| = k^(2×(−3)−1×4) = k^(−6−4) = −10k^Nm. Magnitude = 10Nm. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 10 Nm. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
