Question
For the 2D coordinate system below, complete the following:

a) Break up the force vector into \( F_x \) and \( F_y \) components; show these components on the figure.
   - Add a superscript to each component to indicate whether they are acting in the positive (+) or negative (-) direction.

b) Draw a position vector \( \vec{r} \) from the origin (O) to the tail (point a) of the force vector.

c) Break up the position vector into \( r_x \) and \( r_y \) components; show these components on the figure.
   - Add a superscript to each component to indicate whether they are acting in the positive (+) or negative (-) direction.

d) Calculate the “moment” of force \( \vec{F} \) about the origin by multiplying \( F_x \) times its perpendicular distance from the origin (\( r_y \)), and add the product of \( F_y \) times its perpendicular distance from the origin (\( r_x \)).
   - Assume that a counterclockwise rotation about the origin is a “positive” moment. Think of \( r_x \) as a string connected to the origin. If you pull the string in the direction of a, will that cause a clockwise (-) or counterclockwise (+) moment? Use this to attribute the correct sign to each of the two terms that make up the moment about the origin.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a coordinate system with \( x \)- and \( y \)- axes. There is a point \( a \) in the first quadrant, and a force vector \( \vec{F} \) is directed from \( a \). The origin is labeled as \( O \). The position vector \( \vec{r} \) should be drawn from \( O \) to \( a \). Components \( F_x \), \( F_y \), \( r_x \), and \( r_y \) should be identified, showing their respective directions.
