e. what is the sign of the direction of the torque?

A large ocean-going ship runs aground near the coastline, similar to the fate of
the Costa Concordia, and lies at an angle as shown below. Salvage crews must
apply a torque to right the ship in order to float the vessel for transport. A force
of 5.0 x 10° N acting at point A must be applied to right the ship. What is the
torque about the point of contact of the ship with the ground (Figure)?
10°
