A rigid body rotates about an axis through the origin with an angular velocity

10 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}

. If

\omega

points in the direction of

\hat{\mathbf{i}}+\hat{\mathbf{j}}+\hat{\mathbf{k}}

, then the equation to the locus of the points having tangential speed

20 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

x^2+y^2+z^2-x y-y z-z x-2=0

Option C (

x^2+y^2+z^2-x y-y z-z x-2=0

) is correct because it represents the locus of points with the given tangential speed, derived from the cross product of angular velocity and position vector.

A solution of the vector equation

\vec{r} \times \vec{b}=\vec{a} \times \vec{b}

, where

\vec{a}, \vec{b}

are two given vectors, is where

\lambda

is a parameter. Let

a = 3\hat i + 2\hat j + x\hat k\mathrm{ }\,\mathrm{\,\,and}\,\,\mathrm{ }b = \hat i - \hat j + \hat k

for some real

x.

Then
