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. \(\left|\vec{F_{3}}\right|= \vec{F_{1}}+2\vec{F_{2}}\)
4. Not possible

A rod of weight \(w\) is supported by two parallel knife edges, \(A\) and \(B\), and is in equilibrium in a horizontal position. The knives are at a distance \(d\) from each other. The centre of mass of the rod is at a distance \(x \) from \(A\). The normal reaction on \(A\) is:
1. \(wx \over d\) 2. \(wd \over x\)
3. \(w(d-x) \over x\) 4. \(w(d-x) \over d\)
