Torque=-803.52 Newton.meter

Explanation:

f_1=15 Hzf1=15Hz
f_2=7 Hzf2=7Hz
w_1=2*3.14*15 =30*3.14=94.2( rad)/sw1=23.1415=303.14=94.2rads
w_2=2*3.14*7=14*3.13=43.96 (rad)/sw2=23.147=143.13=43.96rads
a=(w_2-w_1)/ta=w2w1t
a=(43.96-94.2)/6a=43.9694.26
a=-8.37 m/s^2a=8.37ms2
F=m*aF=ma
F=-8*8.37=-66.96 NF=88.37=66.96N
M=F*rM=Fr
M=-66.96*12=-803.52 M=66.9612=803.52 , Newton.meter
