QAIPMT-2009-Ph-2170: NEET 2009 Physics - Class 11 AIPMT-2009-Ph-2170 Solution: If \( {F}\) is the force acting on a particle having position…

If F⃗\vec{F} is the force acting on a particle having position vector r⃗\vec{r} and τ⃗\vec{\tau} be the torque of this force about the origin, then

Multiple Choice Options

  • A r⃗⋅τ⃗>0\vec{r}\cdot\vec{\tau}>0 and F⃗⋅τ⃗<0\vec{F}\cdot\vec{\tau}<0
  • B r⃗⋅τ⃗=0\vec{r}\cdot\vec{\tau}=0 and F⃗⋅τ⃗=0\vec{F}\cdot\vec{\tau}=0
  • C r⃗⋅τ⃗=0\vec{r}\cdot\vec{\tau}=0 and F⃗⋅τ⃗≠0\vec{F}\cdot\vec{\tau}\neq0
  • D r⃗⋅τ⃗≠0\vec{r}\cdot\vec{\tau}\neq0 and F⃗⋅τ⃗=0\vec{F}\cdot\vec{\tau}=0

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Torque is always perpendicular to F _ as well as r _ . _ r _ . _ _ = 0 as well as F _ . _ _ = 0
