14. Torque & Rotational Dynamics / Intro to Torque / Problem 5

A horizontal thin rod is free to rotate about point O. Point O is considered the origin of the x-y plane. The point of application of the force is located at x = 1.5 m, y = 1 m. If the force has a magnitude of 80.0 N and is directed 30º north of east, determine the net torque about O.
