An extended body (not shown in the figure) has its center of mass at the origin of the reference frame. In the case below give the direction for the torque τ with respect to the center of mass of the body due to force F acting on the body at a location indicated by the vector r.
Options are:
X
-Y
Z
-Z

An extended body not shown in the figure has its center of mass at the origin of the reference frame In the case below give the direction for the torque τ with class=

Respuesta :

The direction of torque τ this method is mathematically given as

D=X  

Option A is correct.

What is the direction of torque?

Generally, the equation for torque is  mathematically given as

τ = r X F

Since F is the force exerted on the body at r, we need to know the direction of this torque with regard to the body's center of mass.

The dominant hand (the right) is used.Just run the fingers of our right hand along the line r.Our right palm should be placed on the letter F. Then, we'll gradually move r into F. The direction of the thumb's motion will indicate the torque's vector.

In conclusion, the direction of this method is

D=X   Option A.
