$A$ wheel of radius $R$ with an axle of radius $R/2$ is as shown in the figure. It is free to rotate about a frictionless axis through its centre and perpendicular to the page. Three forces are exerted as shown in the figure: a force $F$ at an angle of $45^{\circ}$ to the tangent of the outer rim,a force $F$ tangential to the inner axle,and a force $2F$ tangential to the outer rim. The magnitude of the net torque acting on the system is nearly ............. $FR$.

$A$ slab is subjected to two forces $\vec F_1$ and $\vec F_2$ of the same magnitude $F$ as shown in the figure. Force $\vec F_2$ is in the $XY$-plane,while force $\vec F_1$ acts along the $z$-axis at the point $(2\hat i + 3\hat j)$. The moment of these forces about point $O$ is:
