Question about torque?

Pinky hass a mass of 3.05 kg sits on a pump handle at a distance of 34.33 cm from the axis of rotation. Using this information, what is the torque of Pinky if the handle is 67.4 from the horizontal?



I know that torque = F (r * sin of angle) but how do i find the F, the force? And does the angle need to be in radians?
BY Tau = r X F

=
