$A$ wheel of radius $R$ with an axle of radius $R/2$ is as shown in the figure. It is free to rotate about a frictionless axis through its centre and perpendicular to the page. Three forces are exerted as shown in the figure: a force $F$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the tangent of the outer rim,a force $F$ tangential to the inner axle,and a force $2F$ tangential to the outer rim. The magnitude of the net torque acting on the system is nearly ............. $FR$.

  • A
    $3.5$
  • B
    $3.2$
  • C
    $2.5$
  • D

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:

$A$ force $\overrightarrow{F} = 4\hat{i} - 5\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$ acts at a point $\overrightarrow{r_1} = \hat{i} + 2\hat{j} + 3\hat{k}$. The torque about the point $\overrightarrow{r_2} = 3\hat{i} - 2\hat{j} - 3\hat{k}$ is:
