`O` is the centre of an equilateral triangle `ABC`. `F_(1), F_(2)` and `F_(3)` are the three forces acting along the sides `AB, BC` and `AC` respectively. What should be the value of `F_(3)` so that the total torque about `O` is zero?

A

`F_(1)+F_(2)`

B

`F_(1)-F_(2)`

C

`(F_(1)+F_(2))/(2)`

D

`2(F_(1)+F_(2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`tau_(0)=F_(1)r+F_(2)r-F_(3)r=0`
`F_(3)=F_(1)+F_(2)`
