Answer

$$ \mathbf{M}_o=\{-40 \mathbf{i}-44 \mathbf{j}-8 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{kN} \cdot \mathrm{m} $$

Work Step by Step

Position Vector. The coordinates of point $A$ are $(1,-2,6) \mathrm{m}$. Thus, $$ \mathbf{r}_{O A}=\{\mathbf{i}-2 \mathbf{j}+6 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{m} $$ The moment of $\boldsymbol{F}$ About Point $\boldsymbol{O}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \mathbf{M}_O & =\mathbf{r}_{O A} \times \mathbf{F} \\ & =\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 1 & -2 & 6 \\ -6 & 4 & 8 \end{array}\right| \\ & =\{-40 \mathbf{i}-44 \mathbf{j}-8 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{kN} \cdot \mathrm{m} \end{aligned} $$
