Title: Find the equivalent system of forces about point O

**Diagram Description:**

The diagram shows a mechanical structure with two force vectors and a couple moment acting in a three-dimensional space. The structure consists of a blue pipe bent at an elbow joint.

- **Point O:** The origin of the coordinate system, shown as a circular base.
- **Coordinates:**
  - Point O is located at the origin (0,0,0).
  - The pipe extends vertically from the base in the z-direction for 0.3 meters.
  - The horizontal section of the pipe extends 0.5 meters in the x-direction and 0.4 meters in the y-direction.
  
- **Forces:**
  - \( F_1 = 100 \, \text{N} \): Acting along the negative z-axis at the joint where the pipe bends.
  - \( F_2 = 200 \, \text{N} \): Acting diagonally in the negative x and positive y direction from the end of the horizontal pipe section.
  
- **Couple Moment:**
  - \( M_c = 75 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \): Illustrated with a circular arrow indicating a rotational effect in the plane perpendicular to the pipe.
  
**Objective:**
Determine the equivalent system of forces acting on the structure about point O, considering both the forces and the couple moment.
