    What is the torque of a force \[3\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+4\hat{k}\] about the origin, if the force acts on a particle whose position vector is \[2\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+1\hat{k}\]?

    A)  \[\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+8\hat{k}\]

    B)  \[2\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+2\hat{k}\]

    C)  \[\hat{i}+\hat{j}+\hat{k}\]

    D)  \[3\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+3\hat{k}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Torque  \[(\tau )=r\times F\] \[=(2\hat{i}+2\hat{j}+\hat{k})\times (3\hat{i}+7\hat{j}+4\hat{k})\] \[=\left| \begin{matrix}    {\hat{i}} & {\hat{j}} & {\hat{k}}  \\    2 & 2 & 1  \\    3 & 7 & 4  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[=\hat{i}(8-7)-\hat{j}(8-3)+\hat{k}(14-6)\] \[=\hat{i}-5\hat{j}+8\hat{k}\]
