A uniform horizontal rod of length \(L\) is attached to a vertical wall by a hinge at its left end. A force of magnitude \(F\) is applied to the rod at its midpoint. The force vector is directed upward and to the right, making an angle of \(30^\circ\) with the vertical, as shown in the figure. Which of the following expressions correctly represents the magnitude of the torque exerted by the force \(F\) about the hinge?
