Chapter 10, Problem 10.1E

Calculate the torque (magnitude and direction) about point O due to the force $\stackrel{\to }{F}$ in each of the cases sketched in Fig. E10.1. In each case, both the force $\stackrel{\to }{F}$ and the rod lie in the plane of the page, the rod has length 4.00 m, and the force has magnitude F = 10.0 N.
