What is the net force on the rectangular coil

A rectangular coil of wire carrying a current is suspended in a uniform magnetic field. The plane of the coil is making an angle of 30^(@) with the direction of the field and the torque experienced by it is tau_(1) and when the plane of the coil is making an angle of 60^(@) with the direction of the field the torque experienced by it is tau_(2) . Then the ratio tau_(1):tau_(2) is
