Q190 / 225 · JEE Main 2003 · Physics

Let $\vec{F}$ be the force acting on a particle having position vector $\vec{r}$ and $\vec{T}$ be the torque of this force about the origin. Then

  • A
    $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}}=0$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} . \overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}} \neq 0$
  • B
    $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}} \neq 0$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}}=0$
  • C
    $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}} \neq 0$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}} \neq 0$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}}=0$ and $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \cdot \overrightarrow{\mathrm{T}}=0$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
