A circular disk with a radius of 0.42 m is subject to 2 tangentially applied forces. The disc is fixed such that it will rotate about its center. Both forces produce a torque in the same direction. F1 = 4.4 N applied at the outer edge of the disc. F2 = 3 N applied at a distance of 0.2 from the center of the disc. %3D What is the net torque on the disc?
