                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.
                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.

                As torque on footstep bearing is given by,
T = kR^4.
                T = kR^4.

                Torque= Π*N*r^4/60t.
