The object shown in Fig. is pivoted at 0 about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the page. Three forces act on it in the directions shown on the figure: F A = 10 N at point A, 8.0 m from 0; F B = 16 N at point B, 4.0 m from 0; and F c = 19 N at point C, 3.0 m from O. What are the magnitude and direction of the resultant torque about O?

The negative sign highlights the fact that the net torque experienced by the object is in the direction into the plane of page and going perpendicular to it.
