**Problem Statement:**

A force of \( \mathbf{F} = 12\mathbf{i} + 40\mathbf{j} \) [N] is applied to the end of a rod extending from the origin \( (x_0, y_0) = (0, 0) \) meters to point A with coordinates \( (x_A, y_A) = (6.9, 7.3) \) meters. 

Calculate the moment of force produced by \( \mathbf{F} \). Give the answer to 1 decimal place.

**Explanation:**

To solve this problem, you need to calculate the moment of force (also known as torque) about the origin. The moment \( \mathbf{M} \) of a force \( \mathbf{F} \) applied at a point with position vector \( \mathbf{r} \) is given by the cross product \( \mathbf{M} = \mathbf{r} \times \mathbf{F} \).

- **Position Vector \( \mathbf{r} \):** From the origin to point A: \( \mathbf{r} = 6.9\mathbf{i} + 7.3\mathbf{j} \).

- **Force Vector \( \mathbf{F} \):** Given as \( \mathbf{F} = 12\mathbf{i} + 40\mathbf{j} \).

- **Moment (Torque) Calculation:**
  \[
  \mathbf{M} = \begin{vmatrix}
  \mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\
  6.9 & 7.3 & 0 \\
  12 & 40 & 0
  \end{vmatrix}
  \]

  Computing the cross product:
  \[
  \mathbf{M} = (0\mathbf{i} - 0\mathbf{j} + (6.9 \times 40 - 7.3 \times 12)\mathbf{k})
  \]
  \[
  \mathbf{M} = (276 - 87.6)\mathbf{k}
  \]
  \[
  \mathbf{M} = 188.4\mathbf{k}
  \]

The moment of force produced by \( \mathbf{F} \) is \( 188.4 \, \text{Nm} \
