Q.

Consider a body of mass 1.0 kg at rest at the origin at time t=0. A force F→=(αti^+βj^) is applied on the body, where α=1.0 Ns-1 and β=1.0 N. The torque acting on the body about the origin at time t=1.0 s is τ→. Which of the following statements is (are) true                       [2018]

1 |τ→|=13 Nm  
2 The torque τ→ is in the direction of the unit vector +k^  
3 The velocity of the body at t=1 s is v→=12(i^+2j^) ms-1  
4 The magnitude of displacement of the body at t=1 s is 16 m  

Ans.

(1, 3)

Given F→=αti^+βj^ or F→=ti^+j^    (∵α=1 Ns-1, β=1 N)

∴ mdv→dt=ti^+j^

∴ dv→=t dt i^+dt j^     [∵m=1]

∴ ∫0vdv→=∫0tt dt i^+∫0tdt j^⇒v→=t22i^+tj^

At t=1 s, v→=12i^+j^=12(i^+2j^) ms-1

Also, v→=dr→dt=t22i^+tj^    ∴ dr→=t22dt i^+t dt j^

or ∫0rdr→=∫0tt22dt i^+∫0tt dt j^⇒r→=t36i^+t22j^

At t=1, r→=16i^+12j^,        ∴ |r→|=136+14=1036

τ→=r→×F→=(16i^+12j^)×(i^+j^)    (at t=1 s)

or τ→=-13k^           ∴ |τ→|=13 Nm
