I've calculated the net torque already, and I've found them both to be positive. Does that mean that they are both counterclockwise?

And yes, I do know what clockwise and counterclockwise mean when applied to an analog clock. What I'm having trouble with is applying that to physics because everything is denoted by arrows, so therefore if someone like me who has never learned the physical definitions of clockwise and counterclockwise were to distinguish between the two with just basic reasoning from life, he or she would be confused because the arrows can, in an essence, be identified as either clockwise or counterclockwise due to the sheer fact that the arrows aren't moving.

The right-hand rule as stated in my book is as follows:

1. Point the fingers of your right hand in the direction of r.
2. Curl your fingers toward the direction of vector F.
3. Your thumb then points approximately in the direction of the torque, in this case out of the page.

So according to the right-hand rule, I am supposed to basically position my hand so that these maneuvers are possible? And even so, which direction would be clockwise and which direction would be counterclockwise? With my thumb toward myself or toward the page?

Thanks for the answers so far, everyone.
