A ball is spinning on a horizontal surface, about the vertical axis passing through its centre. Its angular velocity decreases from \(2\pi\) rad/s to \(\pi\) rad/s in \(10\) s. If the moment of inertia of the ball is \(0.5\) kg-m2, the torque acting on the ball is:
1. \(-\frac{\pi}{100} \) N-m

2. \(-\frac{\pi}{50} \) N-m

3. \(-\frac{\pi}{20} \) N-m

4. \(-\frac{\pi}{10}\) N-m
