In the figure given below, O is the centre of an equilateral triangle ABC and F1,  F2,  F3 are three forces acting along the sides AB, BC and AC. What should be the magnitude of F3  so that total torque about O is zero?
        
1.  | F3| = |F1| + |F2|

2. | F3| = |F1| - |F2|

3. | F3| = F1 + 2F2

4. Not possible

A wheel having a moment of inertia of \(2\) kg–m2 about its vertical axis rotates at the rate of \(60\) rpm about the axis. The torque which can stop the wheel's rotation in one minute would be:
1. \(\frac{\pi }{12}\) N-m

2. \(\frac{\pi }{15}\) N-m

3. \(\frac{\pi }{18}\) N-m

4. \(\frac{2\pi }{15}\) N-m
