HINT:

The torque $\to τ$ $\vec\tau$ of a force vector $\to F$ $\vecF$ acting at a point with position vector is $\to r_{1}$ $\vec {r_1}$ about a point having position vector $\to r_{2}$ $\vec {r_2}$ is given as

$\to τ = (\to r_{1} - \to r_{2}) \times \to F$ $\vec\tau=(\vec {r_1}-\vec {r_2})\times \vecF$
