Karol Brzezinski proposed the following answer:
Hi Nima,

I guess that you want to compute 'global' torque acting on your 'vane' (driving torque of your tool/probe). So you need to include the torque from all the forces:
Moment of force = F x d
F is the force applied, d is the distance from the fixed axis (vane axis).

Cheers,
Karol
