Question

O is the center of an equilateral triangle A B C, F1 , F2 and F3 are three forces acting along the, sides A, B, B C and A C as shown in figure. what should be the magnitude of F3 so that the total torque about O is zero

Easy
Solution

Here AO = BO = CO = r
Hence r x F1 + r x F2 r x F3= 0
or r x[F1+F2-F3]=0
This gives F3 = F1 + F2
