Moments around a Rod Physics Question?

A rod is bent into an L shape and attached at one point to a pivot. The rod sits on a frictionless table and the diagram is a view from above. This means that gravity can be ignored for this problem. There are three forces that are applied to the rod at different points and angles: F_1_vec, F_2_vec, and F_3_vec. Note that the dimensions of the bent rod are in centimeters in the figure, although the answers are requested in SI units (kilograms, meters, seconds).If F_3=0 and F_1=12N, what does the magnitude of F_2_vec have to be for there to be rotational equilibrium?
