A force F=(2i+3j-2k)N acts on a particle whose coordinates are (1m, 2m, 3m) find the torque acting on the particle
Answers
Please MARK AS BRAINLIEST and HEART.
Answer:
Torque acting on the particle is (13i - 8j + k) Nm.
Given:
[Note that bold letters represent vectors.]
Force, F = (2i + 3j - 2k) N
Coordinates of the point = (1 m, 2 m, 3 m)
where m is the unit of distance, i.e., meters.
Find:
The torque acting on the particle.
Solution:
Torque is given by,
Torque = Force × Distance
τ = F × r
where r is the position vector of the particle.
Here, coordinates of the particle are (1, 2, 3).
Position vector of the particle, r = 1i + 2j + 3k
∴ Torque, τ = F × r
= (2i + 3j - 2k) × (1i + 2j + 3k)
=
= i[9 + 4] - j[6 + 2] + k[4 - 3]
= 13i - 8j + k
Hence, torque acting on the particle is τ = (13i - 8j + k) Nm.
