The figure below shows forces acting at various points on a metal cylinder. The angles $=42,=27,=23.$ The length $l=4\mathrm{.}6m.$ Find the net torque $($in N $.$ m $)$ on the cylinder about the following axes.

$($a$)$ an axis through $O$ perpendicular to the page

magnitude $$

What does the right hand rule say about the direction of the torques acting about $O?$ How does that affect the signs of the torque components? What is the formula for a magnitude of a cross product? What is the angle between each position vector and force vector? $N*m$

direction $$ out of the page
