A ball is spinning on a horizontal surface, about the vertical axis passing through its centre. Its angular velocity decreases from \(2\pi~\text {rad/s}\) to \(\pi​​~\text {rad/s}\)  in \(10~\text {s}.\)  If the moment of inertia of the ball is \(0.5~\text{kg/m}^2,\) the torque acting on the ball is:
1. \(-\frac{\pi}{100} ~\text{N-m}\) 2. \(-\frac{\pi}{50} ~\text{N-m}\) 
3. \(-\frac{\pi}{20} ~\text{N-m}\) 4. \(-\frac{\pi}{10}~\text{N-m}\)
