Physics Question on torque
The position vector r of a particle of mass m is given by the following equation r(t)=αt3i^+βt2j^ where α=310ms−3,β=5ms−2 and m=0.1kg. At t=1s, which of the following statement (s) is (are) true about the particle?
The velocity v is given by v=(10i^+10j^)ms−1
The angular momentum L with respect to the origin is given by L=−(35)k^Nms
The force F is given by F=(i^+2j^)N
The torque τ with respect to the origin is given by τ=−(320)k^Nm
The torque τ with respect to the origin is given by τ=−(320)k^Nm
Solution
r(t)=αt3i^+βt2j^
α=310ms−3,β=5ms−2 and m=0.1kg.t=1s, v=3αt2i^+2βtj^
(A) (v)r=1=3αi^+2βj^
=3×310i^+2×5j^
=10i^+10j^
(B) L=r×P=m(r×v)
=0.1[(αt3i^+βt2j^)×(10i^+10j^)]
=0.1[(10αt3(k^)−10βt2(k^)]
=0.1[10×310×1k^−10×5(1)2k^]
=0.1[3100−50]k^
=−35(k^)
(C) F=ma=m[6αti^+2βj^]
0.1[6×310×1i^+2×5j^]
=[2i^+j^]
(D) τ=r×F
=(αt3i^+βt2j^)×[2i^+j^]
=(310i^+5j^)×[2i^+j^]
=310k^−10k^
=3−20k^
