The moment of the couple consisting of the force through the point `2hati -3hatj -hatk` isA. 5B. `5sqrt5`C. `sqrt5`D. 25

Answer» Correct Answer - B
Let A and B be the points having position vectors
` hati - hatj + hatk and 2hati -3hatj -hatk` respectively, then
`vecr = vec(BA) = (hati -hatj +hatk) - ( 2hati -3hatj -hatk) = - hati + 2hatj + 2hatk`
Let `vecM` b the moment of the couple. Then,
` vecM = vecr xx vecF |{:(hati, hatj ,hatk),(-1,2,2),( 3,2,-1):}| = -6 hati +5hatj -8hatk`
Moment fo the couple = ` |vecM|= sqrt(36+25+ 64) = 5sqrt5`
