Answer

$$ M_C=\{-65.0 \mathbf{i}-37.5 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{aligned} M_C & =80(1.5)=75 \mathrm{~N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \\ M_C & =-75\left(\cos 30^{\circ} \mathbf{i}+\cos 60^{\circ} \mathbf{k}\right) \\ & =\{-65.0 \mathbf{i}-37.5 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{N} \cdot \mathrm{m} \end{aligned} $$
