Answer

$$ \mathbf{M}_{R O}=\{0.650 \mathbf{i}+19.75 \mathbf{j}-9.05 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{kN} \cdot \mathrm{m} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{aligned} \mathbf{F}_R= & \mathbf{F}_1+\mathbf{F}_2=\{-1 \mathbf{i}-2 \mathbf{j}-5 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{kN} \\ \mathbf{M}_{R O} & =\mathbf{r}_1 \times \mathbf{F}_1+\mathbf{r}_2 \times \mathbf{F}_2 \\ & =\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 4 & -0.15 & 0.25 \\ -4 & 2 & -3 \end{array}\right|+\left|\begin{array}{ccc} \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\ 4 & 0.15 & 0.25 \\ 3 & -4 & -2 \end{array}\right| \\ & =(-0.05 \mathbf{i}+11 \mathbf{j}+7.4 \mathbf{k})+(0.7 \mathbf{i}+8.75 \mathbf{j}-16.45 \mathbf{k}) \\ & =(0.65 \mathbf{i}+19.75 \mathbf{j}-9.05 \mathbf{k}) \\ \mathbf{M}_{R O} & =\{0.650 \mathbf{i}+19.75 \mathbf{j}-9.05 \mathbf{k}\} \mathrm{kN} \cdot \mathrm{m} \end{aligned} $$
