A force of - F k^ acts on O, the origin of the coordinate system. The torque about the point (1, - 1) is

a
F(i^-j^)
b
-F (i^+j^)
c
F(i^+j^)
d
-F(i^-j^)

detailed solution

Correct option is C

We know thatτ→=r→×F→The force F and point (1, - 1) is shown in figure.Now τ→=(i^−j^)×(−Fk^)=F[(−i^×k^)+(j^×k^)]=F[j^+i^]=F(i^+j^)
