The fishing pole below (F = 108 N , = 1.80 m) makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. What is the torque exerted by the fish about an axis perpendicular to the page and passing through the fisher's hand?
Magnitude
_____N·m
Direction
to the fisherman's right
to the fisherman's left



i know the 2nd part is to the left but i am having trouble calculating the torque if anyone could lend a helping hand.
