उत्तर
\[\frac{1}{2}\text{Mga }\sin\theta\]
Let N be the normal reaction on the block.

From the free body diagram of the block, it is clear that the forces N and mgcosθ pass through the same line. Therefore, there will be no torque due to N and mgcosθ. The only torque will be produced by mgsinθ.
\[\therefore \overrightarrow{\tau} = \overrightarrow{F} \times \overrightarrow{r}\]
Since a is the edge of the cube, \[r = \frac{a}{2}\]
Thus, we have
\[\tau = mg\sin\theta \times \frac{a}{2}\]
\[= \frac{1}{2}mga\sin\theta\]
