Four forces of the same magnitude act on...

Four forces of the same magnitude act on a square as shown in figure. The square can rotate about point `O`, mid point of one of the edges. The force which can produce greatest torque is

A

`F_(1)`

B

`F_(2)`

C

`F_(3)`

D

`F_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Perpendiculr distance of `F_(3)` is greatest from O, hence torque of `F_(3)` is greatest.
