Let \(\mathbf{F}\) be a vector field whose curl and divergence at the origin are
\[
\operatorname{curl}(\mathbf{F})(0,0,0)=\langle 2,-1,4angle, \quad \operatorname{div}(\mathbf{F})(0,0,0)=-2
\]

Suppose that \(\mathbf{v}\) is the velocity field of a fluid and imagine placing a small paddle wheel at the origin. Find the equation of the plane in which the paddle wheel should be placed to make it rotate as quickly as possible.
