Considering we have some kind of film that produces viscous force in opposite direction.
Let coefficient of viscosity be N
Force
dF = N(area)(dv/dr)         [This is a popular formula dealt in viscous situations]
Considering a ring of dr width of radius r
DF = N ( 2 pi r dr) (wr/thickness of film )
Torque produced is     (Df)(r)
Torque is \int kr^3
LIMITS 0to R 
WE GET TORQUE PROPORTIONAL TO R^4
