Question

Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 2:** The force \( \mathbf{F} = \{400\mathbf{i} - 100\mathbf{j} - 700\mathbf{k}\} \, \text{lb} \) acts at the end of the beam. Determine the moment of this force about point \( O \).
**Diagram Explanation:**
- The diagram shows a 3D representation of a beam.
- Points \( A \), \( B \), and \( O \) are marked on the beam.
- The force \( \mathbf{F} \) is applied at point \( B \).
- The coordinate system is illustrated with axes \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \).
- Dimensions given in the diagram:
- The distance along the \( x \)-axis from the origin \( O \) to the edge of the beam is \( 0.25 \, \text{ft} \).
- The distance along the \( y \)-axis from the origin \( O \) to point \( A \) is \( 8 \, \text{ft} \).
- The distance along the \( z \)-axis from the base to point \( B \) is \( 1.5 \, \text{ft} \).
This visual helps in understanding the position of the force with respect to point \( O \) for calculating the moment.
