Sppose that a pointmass 'm'is movingunder a constantforce vecF = 2hati-hatj + hatk netweon .At someinstant , t=0, pointP(xm, ym, -1m) [m- metre ] is the instantaneous position of themass. We knowthattorque can beexpressed as thecross- product of positionvector and forcesvector, i.e., tau= vecr xx vecF . AtP, torquecan beexpessedastau= (-4hatj - 4 hatk)NmAt some other instant,t=3 sec, the pointmasshas anotherinstantaneouspositionQ(x_(1), y_(1), z_(1))suchthatthe displacementvectorsbetweenpoints P and Qand thegivenforce are mutually perpendicular. Also, x-component of torqure at Q is zero and yz-components are equal in magnitude and direction alongthe negativedirectionof therespectiveaxes. Usinga definitescale, if we constructa parallelogram with the positionvectorsof Q and thegivesforce vecF as itsadjacent sides , areaof thisparallelogramis 2sqrt(2)m^(2) . Areaof the given parallelogram , in fact , representsa physicalquantitywhose magnitude in SI systemcan beexpressed as 5times thegives are Answerthe following questions.Coordinates of P are :

Solution :`""tau_(p) = vecr_(po) xx VECF`
`""= ("XI" + "yj"-hatk)xx (2i-j+hatk)`
`""vectau_(p)=(y -1)i -(x + 2)j-(x +2y)hatk`
Given`""vectau_(p) = - 4hatj - 4hatk`
`therefore""x=2 and y=1`
ALSO, `""vecr_(PQ)=(x_(1) -x) i+ (y_(1) - y)j +(z_(1) + 1)hatk`
Given `""vecr_(PQ) botvecF`
`therefore""vecr_(PQ) .vecF = 0`
`therefore[(x_(1) - 2)hati + (y_(1) - 1) hatj + ( z_(1)+ 1)hatk].[2i - hatj+hatk]= 0......(i)`
`""tau_(Q)= vecr_(QO) xxvecF= |{:("i","j","k"),(x_(1),y_(1),z_(1)),(2,-1,1):}|`
`tau_(Q)= (y_(1) + z_(1))hati - j (x_(1) -2z_(1))+ k(-x_(1)- 2y_(1))`
Given, `""y_(1) + z_(1) =0""...........(ii)`
And,`""x_(1) -2z_(1) =x_(1) + 2y_(1)""......(iii)`
Also,`""|vecr_(QO) xx vecF= 10sqrt(2)`
`therefore (y_(1) + z_(1))^(2) + (x_(1) -2z_(1))^(2) + (x_(1) + 2y_(1))^(2) = 100 xx 2....(iv)`
`therefore ""2(x_(1) - 2z_(1))^(2) = 100 xx 2`
`therefore""x_(1) - 2z_(1) = 10`
`therefore""vectau_(Q)= - 10 hatj - 10 hatk`
`""W = 0, " as" vecr_(PQ)` is prependicular to `vecF`
