How to calculate??

Torque is the product (multiply!) of the force and the distance from the fulcrum (hinge) - so there you have it! Probably NOT the answer you've already received.

Torque, or moment, is a vector:
r X F = |r|*|F|*sin(theta)
theta is angle between vectors. From your description, I'm not clear on the orientations involved.

A simple multiplication is all that is necessary.
