In the picture, we can estimate Harold Lloyd is an adult human mass m = 60 kg radius vector from axis to Lloyd radius R = 1 m time is 2:42 PM The torque will be given by tau = r * F * sin(theta) where r = 1 m at angle of 18 degrees below horizontal F = m * g = (60 kg) * (9.8 m/s^2) = 588 N at angle 90 degrees below vertical so theta = (90 - 18) = 72 degrees Therefore, the size of the torque is tau = 1 m * 588 N * sin(72 deg) = 559 N*m The direction of the torque is OUT of the clock's face.
