Practice question
Question
What is the direction of torque relative to the force and position vector?
Explanation
Torque τ = r×F is perpendicular to both the position vector r and force F, following the right-hand rule. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Perpendicular to both force and position vector. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
