cross product moment example

The video tutorial explains how to find the moment about a point due to a force using the cross product method. It covers the concepts of position and force vectors, breaking them into components, and calculating the cross product. The tutorial also demonstrates evaluating the determinant and interpreting the result using the right-hand rule, emphasizing the clockwise direction of the moment.

How do you calculate the determinant when finding the moment vector?

What is the role of the right-hand rule in determining the direction of the moment vector?

What does a negative moment vector indicate about its direction?
