Question

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

Answer 1

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

Hence to decipher the torque direction 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

• We utilize our right hand.
• Place our right-hand fingers along the path of r
• Place our right-hand palm on F
• Then slowly we sweep r into F.
• The path or direction of the thumb will provide the direction of the torque.

In conclusion, the direction of this method is

D=X   Option A.
