Answer

$$M_{B C}=165 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{aligned} & \mathbf{u}_{B C}=\frac{\mid-1.5 \mathbf{i}-2.5 \mathbf{j}\}}{\sqrt{(-1.5)^2+(-2.5)^2}} \\ & \mathbf{u}_{B C}=\{-0.5145 \mathbf{i}-0.8575 \mathbf{j}\} \\ & M_{B C}=\mathbf{u}_{B C} \cdot\left(\mathbf{r}_{C D} \times \mathbf{F}\right)=\left|\begin{array}{ccc} -0.5145 & -0.8575 & 0 \\ 0.5 & 2 & 4 \\ 50 & -20 & -80 \end{array}\right| \\ & M_{B C}=165 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \end{aligned} $$
