The torque required to overcome the viscous resistance of footstep bearing is (u^2*N*r^4/60t).
Here, u = viscosity of Oil, N = speed of the shaft, t= thickness of Oil film and r = radius of the shaft

So T is directly proportional to r^4.

T is directly proportional to D4. So the answer is 16.

Torque= Π*N*r^4/60t.

As torque on footstep bearing is given by,

T = kR^4.
