\lambda \sigma l^{2}sin\theta /2\varepsilon

force on elementary length. = Eλdx
torque=Eλdxxsinθ

integrating from 0 to l we get λEsinθl2/2

similarly for lower part (-λ)
torque in same sense. λEsinθl2/2

so net torque = λEsinθl2
E=σ/2ε0

so τ= λEsinθl2/2ε0

as force in constant so u could have used (λl)Esinθ(l/2) for torque on upper part ...(force on center of rod. at l/2)

similarly for lower part.
