KVPY2013PhysicsRotational Motion
A wheel of radius R with an axle of radius R / 2 is shown in the figure and is free to rotate about a frictionless axis through its centre and perpendicular to the page. Three forces (F, F, 2 F) are exerted tangentially to the repective rims as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the net torque acting on the system is nearly
