Transcribed Image Text:### Analysis of Moment of Force in 3D Space
#### Problem Statement
**Force P** acts along line **AB** as shown in the figure below.
1. Knowing that the magnitude of the moment of **P** about line **CO** is 540 N·m, determine the magnitude of the force **P**.
2. Express the moment of **P** about line **CO** as a Cartesian vector.
3. Find the magnitude of the moment of **P** about point **C**.
4. Find the magnitude of the moment of **P** about point **A**.
#### Diagram Description
The diagram consists of a rectangular prism with a coordinate system labeled as **x**, **y**, and **z**. The points **O**, **A**, **B**, and **C** are located at:
- **O (0, 0, 0)**
- **A (9 m, 0, 0)**
- **B (0, 15 m, 0)**
- **C (9 m, 15 m, 12 m)**
The force **P** acts along the line segment **AB**. The line **CO** is a diagonal passing from point **C** to point **O**.
#### Diagram Explanation
In the provided diagram:
- A rectangular prism is shown with its base along the **xy-plane** and extends vertically along the **z-axis**.
- Points are labeled as follows:
- **O** is the origin.
- **A** is along the **x-axis** at 9 meters.
- **B** is along the **y-axis** at 15 meters.
- **C** is diagonally opposite **O** on the top face at coordinates **(9 m, 15 m, 12 m)**.
- **Force P** is shown acting along the line **AB** directed from point **A** to point **B**.
- Line **CO** is highlighted between points **C** and **O**.
This setup helps define the relative positions and directions needed to solve for the magnitude of the force, and moments about specified points and lines in three-dimensional space.
