Answer

$$ M_P=\{-60 \mathbf{i}-26 \mathbf{j}-32 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{kN} \cdot \mathrm{m} $$

Work Step by Step

The coordinates of points $A$ and $P$ are $A(1,-2,6) \mathrm{m}$ and $P(0,4,3) \mathrm{m}$, respectively $$ \begin{aligned} \mathbf{r}_{P A} & =(1-0) \mathbf{i}+(-2-4) \mathbf{j}+(6-3) \mathbf{k} \\ & =\{\mathbf{i}-6 \mathbf{j}+3 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{m} \end{aligned} $$ The moment of $F$ About Point $P$. $$ \begin{aligned} M_P & =\mathbf{r}_{P A} \times \mathbf{F} \\ & =\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 1 & -6 & 3 \\ -6 & 4 & 8 \end{array}\right| \\ & =\{-60 \mathbf{i}-26 \mathbf{j}-32 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{kN} \cdot \mathrm{m} \end{aligned} $$
