$A$ force $F = 2.0\,N$ acts on a particle $P$ in the $xz-$ plane. The force $F$ is parallel to the $x-$ axis. The particle $P$ (as shown in the figure) is at a distance $3\,m$ from the origin,and the line joining $P$ with the origin makes an angle of $30^\circ$ with the $x-$ axis. The magnitude of the torque on $P$ with respect to the origin $O$ (in $N-m$) is:
