A rigid body is acted on by two forces: F1=(4,0,3)\mathbf F_1 = (4, 0, 3) N applied at the point (0,2,0)(0, 2, 0), and F2=(−4,1,−3)\mathbf F_2 = (-4, 1, -3) N applied at the point (1,0,2)(1, 0, 2) (positions measured from the pivot at the origin). Find the magnitude of the NET torque about the origin.
