\begin{array}{l} \vec{\tau}=\left(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}_{2}-\overrightarrow{\mathrm{r}}_{1}\right) \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \\ =[(4 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{j}}-\hat{\mathrm{k}})-(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+\hat{\mathrm{k}})] \times \overrightarrow{\mathrm{F}} \\ =(3 \hat{\mathrm{i}}+\hat{\mathrm{j}}-2 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \times(\hat{\mathrm{i}}+2 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+3 \hat{\mathrm{k}}) \\ \tau=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \hat{\mathrm{i}} & \hat{\mathrm{j}} & \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ 3 & 1 & -2 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \end{array}\right| \\ =7 \hat{\mathrm{i}}-11 \hat{\mathrm{j}}+5 \hat{\mathrm{k}} \\ |\vec{\tau}|=\sqrt{195} \end{array}
