Torque
Question

ABC is an equilateral triangle with O as its centre. F1, F2 and F3 represent three forces acting along the sides AB, BC and AC respectively. If the total torque about O is zero then the magnitude of F3 is 

Moderate
Solution

Taking torque about O, net torque should be zero.

F2 × x-F3×x+F1×x = 0

F3 = F1+F2
