Please explain the b part

5.  The wheel shown in the diagram (Fig. 1.17) has a fixed axle passing through O. The wheel is kept stationary under the action of (i) a horizontal force F1 at A and (ii) a vertical force F2 at B.

(b) Which of the force F1 or F 2 is greater ? 
 

F2 is greater because more the perpendicular distance less force is applied and in case of F2 the distance is less thus more force is applied
