Answer

$$ \mathbf{M}_B=\{-110 \mathbf{i}-180 \mathbf{j}-420 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} $$

Work Step by Step

The coordinates of points $B$ and $C$ are $B(0.5,0,0) \mathrm{m}$ and $C(0.5,0.7,-0.3) \mathrm{m}$, respectively. $$ \begin{aligned} \mathbf{r}_{B C} & =(0.5-0.5) \mathbf{i}+(0.7-0) \mathbf{j}+(-0.3-0) \mathbf{k} \\ & =\{0.7 \mathbf{j}-0.3 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{m} \end{aligned} $$ Moment of Force $\boldsymbol{F}$ About Point $\boldsymbol{B}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \mathbf{M}_B & =\mathbf{r}_{B C} \times \mathbf{F} \\ & =\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 0 & 0.7 & -0.3 \\ 600 & 800 & -500 \end{array}\right| \\ & =\{-110 \mathbf{i}-180 \mathbf{j}-420 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \end{aligned} $$
