### Figure Explanation for Educational Website

#### Description:
This figure depicts a mechanical system in a three-dimensional coordinate space. The system consists of a structure connected at various joints, represented by nodes. The axes are labeled as x, y, and z, illustrating the 3D coordinate system.

#### Components:
- **Axes:** The three coordinate axes (x, y, z) are depicted in the diagram for orientation.
- **Structure:** The structure is composed of blue rods or beams connected by joints at different points in the space.
- **Joints:** The joints are shown as points where the beams meet, marked with spherical connections.
- **Forces:** Two forces, \(F_1\) and \(F_2\), are acting on a joint labeled \(B\).
  - \(F_1\) acts in a direction along the plane formed by \(x_1\) and \(y_1\).
  - \(F_2\) is pointing along the y-axis.
- **Reference Points:** 
  - The origin \(O\) is the reference point of the coordinate system.
  - Dimensions \(x_1\), \(y_1\), and \(z_1\) indicate the positions of the structure components relative to the origin.

#### Annotations:
- **\(O\):** Represents the origin of the coordinate system where all axes intersect.
- **\(B\):** Represents the point at which the forces \(F_1\) and \(F_2\) are applied.
 
The dimensions and forces are crucial for understanding the equilibrium and reaction forces in the structural analysis. This figure is particularly relevant for topics in mechanics, statics, and structural engineering.

**Learning Goal:**

To use the vector cross product to calculate the moment produced by a force, or forces, about a specified point on a member.

The moment of a force **F** about the moment axis passing through **O** and perpendicular to the plane containing **O** and **F** can be expressed using the vector cross product, **M₀ = r x F**. In a properly constructed Cartesian coordinate system, the vector cross product can be calculated using a matrix determinant:

\[ \mathbf{M} = \mathbf{r} \times \mathbf{F} = 
\begin{vmatrix}
\mathbf{i} & \mathbf{j} & \mathbf{k} \\
r_x & r_y & r_z \\
F_x & F_y & F_z 
\end{vmatrix}
\]

Notice that the order of the elements of the matrix determinant is important; switching rows 2 and 3 of the determinant would change the sign of the moment from positive to negative (or vice versa).

### Part A - Moment due to a force specified by magnitude and endpoints

As shown, a member is fixed at the origin, point **O**, and has an applied force **F**, the tension in the rope, applied at the free end, point **B**. (Figure 1)

The force has a magnitude **F = 180 N** and is directed as shown. The dimensions are \( x_1 = 0.350 \, \text{m}, \, x_2 = 1.90\, \text{m}, \, y_1 = 2.30\, \text{m}, \, \text{and} \, z_1 = 1.20\, \text{m} \).

What is the moment about the origin due to the applied force **F**?  

Express the individual components of the Cartesian vector to three significant figures, separated by commas.

#### View Available Hint(s)
\[ M_0 = [ \ \ \ \ \ ] \quad \text{i,j,k} \ \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \]
