    Find the torque of a force \[\vec{F}=-3\hat{i}+\hat{j}+5\hat{k}\] acting at a point \[\vec{r}=7\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k}\]

    A) \[14\hat{i}-38\hat{j}+16\hat{k}\]

    B) \[4\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+6\hat{k}\]

    C) \[21\hat{i}+4\hat{j}+4\hat{k}\]

    D) \[-14\hat{i}+34\hat{j}-16\hat{k}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[\vec{\tau }=\vec{r}\times \vec{F}=(7\hat{i}+3\hat{j}+\hat{k})(-3\hat{i}+\hat{j}+5\hat{k})\] \[\vec{\tau }=\left| \begin{matrix}    {\hat{i}} & {\hat{j}} & {\hat{k}}  \\    7 & 3 & 1  \\    -3 & 1 & 5  \\ \end{matrix} \right|=14\hat{i}-38\hat{j}+16\hat{k}\]
