Answer:

- 22 i - 7 j + 13 k

Explanation:

Given :

\sf F=3\hat{i}-2\hat{j}+4\hat{k} \ N

\sf r=2\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+5\hat{k} \ m

We know :

Torque τ = F × r

Now cross product of given vectors :

                   i                      j                  k

                   3                   - 2                 4

               

                   2                     3                  5

                                                                         

τ = [ ( - 10 - 12 ) i - ( 15 - 8 ) j + ( 9 - ( - 4 ) k ]

τ = - 22 i - 7 j + 13 k

Therefore , torque is - 22 i - 7 j + 13 k .
