![### Understanding Torque and its Calculation
In the following exercise, we will learn how to find the net (or total) torque about a point due to multiple forces acting on a lever.
#### Problem Statement:
Find the net (or total) torque about point \( O \) for the two forces as depicted in the figure. Let \( F_1 = 7.80 \) N and \( F_2 = 15.0 \) N. Express your answer in Newton-meters.
#### Description of the Diagram:
- The diagram shows a horizontal lever (or rod) balanced on a pivot point, labeled as point \( O \).
- Two forces, \( F_1 \) and \( F_2 \), are acting on the lever.
- Force \( F_1 \) is acting downwards at a point 3.00 meters to the right of \( O \).
- Force \( F_2 \) is acting at an angle of 30.0° upwards to the left at a point 2.00 meters from \( O \).
#### Calculations for Torque:
Torque (\( \tau \)) is calculated using the formula:
\[ \tau = r \cdot F \cdot \sin(\theta) \]
Where:
- \( r \) is the distance from the pivot point to the point where the force is applied.
- \( F \) is the magnitude of the force applied.
- \( \theta \) is the angle between the force and the lever arm.
#### Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. **Torque due to \( F_1 \):**
\[
\tau_1 = r_1 \cdot F_1 \cdot \sin(90^\circ)
\]
Since \( \sin(90^\circ) = 1 \) and \( r_1 = 3.00 \) m,
\[
\tau_1 = 3.00 \, \text{m} \cdot 7.80 \, \text{N} \cdot 1 = 23.4 \, \text{Nm}
\]
(Positive direction, assuming counterclockwise)
2. **Torque due to \( F_2 \):**
\[
\tau_2 = r_2 \cdot F_2 \cdot \sin(30^\circ)
\]
