Question

Which of the following are correct expressions for torque acting on a body?

A. $\vec{τ} = \vec{r} \times \vec{L}$ B. $\vec{τ} = \frac{d}{d t} (\vec{r} \times \vec{p})$

C. $\vec{τ} = \vec{r} \times \frac{d \vec{p}}{d t}$ D. $\vec{τ} = I \vec{α}$

E. $\vec{τ} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$

( $\vec{r}$ = position vector; $\vec{p}$ = linear momentum; $\vec{L}$ = angular momentum;

$\vec{α}$ = angular acceleration; $I$ = moment of inertia; $\vec{F}$ = force; t = time)

$\vec{τ} = \vec{r} \times \vec{L}$ wrong

$\vec{τ} = \frac{d}{d t} (\vec{r} \times \vec{p})$ correct

$\vec{τ} = \vec{r} \times \frac{d \vec{p}}{d t} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$ correct

$\vec{τ} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F}$ correct
