🔺15 - Moment of a Force 3D - Vector Formulation : Example 1

In this video we are going to learn how to determine the moment or resultant moment of forces about a point in 3d.

Moment of a force about a point O is the force times the perpendicular distance from O or the axis containing O to the line of action of the force
Mo = Force * perpendicular distance (Nm)
Moment can be taken in the clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.

In this video we mainly focus on finding the moment of a force in 3d. In 3d we use the approach of cross product multiplication, thus Mo = r x F, where
r = position vector directed from O to any point on the line of action of F
F = is the Force F represented as a unit vector

We shall solve three examples in this video.
