Questions  

O is the centre of an equilateral triangle ABC. F1 , F2 and F3 are three forces acting along the sides AB, BC
and AC respectively as shown in figure.

What should be the magnitude of  F3, so that the total torque about O is zero?

a
F1+F22
b
F1-F2
c
F1+F2
d
2(F1+F2)

detailed solution

Correct option is C

For total torque about O to be zero,F1r+F2r-F3r=0⇒    F3=F1+F2
