Question

A horizontal rod of length L= 9.64 m is attached to an axel in such a way that the axel is located at its left end. Three forces are acting on the rod: F1= 11.6N at the location 2.59 m from the axel, F2 = 15.7 N at the location 5.02 m from the axel, and F3 =15.0 N at the laction 2.31 m from the axel. F1 (pointing up and to the right) makes an angel of 47.7 degrees with the rod, F2 (pointing up and to the left) makes an angel of 45.1 with the rod, and F3 points directly downwards. Calculate the net torque that these three forces exert on the rod. Also, indicate if the torque is clockwise it counter-clockwise.
