A particle of mass m is moving along a trajectory given by
x=x0+a cosω1t
y=y0+b sinω2t
The torque, acting on the particle about the origin, at t=0 is:
  1. +my0aω12k^
  2. -mx0bω22-y0aω12k^
  3. Zero
  4. m-x0b+y0aω12k^

Solution

x=x0+a cosω1t
y=y0+bsinω2t
ax=-a ω12cosω1t
ay=-b ω22sinω2t
At t=0 ,
F=ma=-aω12i^
And
r=x0+ai^+y0j^
Torque, τ=r×F
τ=x0+ai^+y0j^×-aω12i^
=my0aω12k^
