The radius vector of a point is r = (i - 2 j +3 k) m and a force F = (4 i + 5j) acts at that point. The moment of the force in Nm is

a
-15i+12j+13k
b
15i-12j+13k
c
-15i-12j+13k
d
15i+12j+13k

detailed solution

Correct option is A

The moment of the force is given by τ→=r×F=(i−2j+3k)×(4i+jj)=ijk1−2+3450=i(0−15)+j(12−0)+k(5+8)=−15i+12j+13k
