A small mouse has gotten into a peculiar situation. Somehow, the mouse has found himself hanging off the end of the metal structure shown in the figure below. Hopefully the structure can support the 36.2 g mouse because it would not make the fall. The structure is rigidly fixed to a wall and has mass per unit length of 5.26 g/cm and dimensions x = 20.1 cm and y = 40.4 cm, defined as y = 0.1x2 (where the attachment point P has coordinates xP = 0, yP = 0). Calculate the torque about the attachment point P.
