The figure shows three forces $\overrightarrow{F}_{1}, \overrightarrow{F}_{2}$ and $\overrightarrow{F}_{3}$ acting along the sides of an equilateral triangle. If the total torque acting at point $O$ (the center of the triangle) is zero,then the magnitude of $\overrightarrow{F}_{3}$ is:

Let $\overrightarrow{F}$ be the force acting on a particle having position vector $\overrightarrow{r}$,and let $\overrightarrow{\tau}$ be the torque of this force about the origin. Then:
