In the figure given below, \(O\) is the centre of an equilateral triangle \(ABC\) and \(\vec{F_{1}} ,\vec F_{2}, \vec F_{3}\) are three forces acting along the sides \(AB\), \(BC\) and \(AC\). What should be the magnitude of \(\vec{F_{3}}\) so that total torque about \(O\) is zero?

1. \(\left|\vec{F_{3}}\right|= \left|\vec{F_{1}}\right|+\left|\vec{F_{2}}\right|\)
2. \(\left|\vec{F_{3}}\right|= \left|\vec{F_{1}}\right|-\left|\vec{F_{2}}\right|\)
3. \(\left|\vec{F_{3}}\right|= \vec{F_{1}}+2\vec{F_{2}}\)

A circular disc is to be made by using iron and aluminium so that it acquires a maximum moment of inertia about its geometrical axis. It is possible with: 

1. Aluminium in the interior and iron surrounding it
2. Iron at the interior and aluminium surrounding it
3. Using iron and aluminium layers in alternate order
4. A sheet of iron is used at both the external surface and aluminium sheet as the internal layer

The figure shows a lamina in \(xy\text{-}\)plane. Two axes \({z}\) and \(z'\) pass perpendicular to its plane. A force \(\vec{F}\) acts in the plane of the lamina at point \(P\) as shown in the figure.
(The point \(P\) is closer to the \(z'\text-\)axis than the \(z\text{-}\)axis.)

    

(a) torque \(\vec{\tau}\)caused by \(\vec{F}\)about \(z\text{-}\)axis is along  \((-\hat{k})\)
(b) torque \(\vec{\tau}'\)caused by \(\vec{F}\)about \(z'\text-\)axis is along \((-\hat{k})\)
(c) torque caused by \(\vec{F}\)about the \(z\text{-}\)axis is greater in magnitude than that about the \(z'\text-\)axis
(d) total torque is given by \(\vec{\tau}_{net}=\vec{\tau}+\vec{\tau}'\)
