As we have learned

Torque -

underset{	au }{
ightarrow}= underset{r}{
ightarrow}	imes underset{F}{
ightarrow}   

 

- wherein

This can be calculated by using either  	au=r_{1}F; or; 	au=rcdot F_{1}

r_{1} = perpendicular distance from origin to the line of force.

F_{1} = component of force perpendicular to line joining force.

 

 

 

 \vec{r}=\vec{r_{2}}-\vec{r_{1}}^

=\left ( 2\hat{i}+(-3\hat{k}) \right )-(2\hat{i}-2\hat{j}-2\hat{k})

=-\hat{k}+2\hat{j}

\therefore \tau =\vec{r}\times \vec{F}

=\left ( 2\hat{j}-\hat{k} \right )\times (4\hat{i}+5\hat{j}-6\hat{k})

=\begin{vmatrix} \hat{i} & \hat{j} & \hat{k}\\ 0& 2& -1\\ 4&5 & -6 \end{vmatrix}=\hat{i}(-12+5)-\hat{j}(0+4)+\hat{k}(0-8)

-7\hat{i}-4\hat{j}-8\hat{k}

 

 

 

 


Option 1)

-7 \hat{i} - 8 \hat{j} - 4 \hat{k}

This is incorrect

Option 2)

-4 \hat{i} - \hat{j} - 8 \hat{k}

This is incorrect

Option 3)

-8 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{j} - 7 \hat{k}

This is incorrect

Option 4)

-7 \hat{i} - 4 \hat{j} - 8 \hat{k}

This is correct
