Answer

$$ \mathbf{M}_o=\{163 \mathbf{i}-346 \mathbf{j}-360 \mathbf{k} \mid \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} $$

Work Step by Step

The coordinates of point $A$ are $A(0.4,0.5,-0.3) \mathrm{m}$. Thus $$ \begin{aligned} \mathbf{r}_{O A} & =\{0.4 \mathbf{i}+0.5 \mathbf{j}-0.3 \mathbf{k}\} \mathbf{m} \\ F & =\mathbf{F u}_F=800\left(\cos 60^{\circ} \mathbf{i}+\cos 120^{\circ} \mathbf{j}+\cos 45^{\circ} \mathbf{k}\right) \\ & =\{400 \mathbf{i}-400 \mathbf{j}+56.5 .69 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{N} \end{aligned} $$ Moment of $\boldsymbol{F}$ About Point $\boldsymbol{O}$. $$ \begin{aligned} \mathbf{M}_O & =\mathbf{r}_{O A} \times \mathbf{F} \\ & =\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 0.4 & 0.5 & -0.3 \\ 400 & -400 & 565.69 \end{array}\right| \\ & =\{162.84 \mathbf{i}-346.27 \mathbf{j}-360 \mathbf{k}\} \mathbf{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\ & =\{163 \mathbf{i}-346 \mathbf{j}-360 \mathbf{k}\} \mathbf{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \end{aligned} $$
