MCQ
Let $\vec{\text{F}}$ be a force acting on a particle having position vector $\vec{\text{r}}.$ Let $\vec{\tau}$ be the torque of this force about the origin, then:
  • $\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\text{F}}=0$ and $\vec{\text{F}}.\vec{\tau}=0$
  • B
    $\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\tau}=0$ but $\vec{\text{F}}.\vec{\tau}\neq0$
  • C
    $\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\tau}\neq0$ but $\vec{\text{F}}.\vec{\tau}=0$
  • D
    $\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\tau}\neq0$ and $\vec{\text{F}}.\vec{\tau}\neq0$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\text{F}}=0$ and $\vec{\text{F}}.\vec{\tau}=0$
Explanation:

$\vec{\tau}=\vec{\text{r}}\times\vec{\text{F}}$

Thus, $\vec{\tau}$ is perpendicular to $\vec{\text{r}}$ and $\vec{\text{F}}$

Therefore, we have:

$\vec{\text{r}}.\vec{\tau}=0$ and $\vec{\text{F}}.\vec{\tau}=0$
