A driver is holding a steering wheel in the 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock positions. The center of the steering wheel is connected to a steering column. If the diameter of the steering wheel is 330 mm, and the driver exerted a 5 N force in each hand causing the steering wheel to turn counterclockwise, calculate the moment caused by the steering wheel.
