A crane is lifting a container at Point AAA in 3D space. The crane is subjected to multiple forces due to wind, cable tension, and weight distribution. The forces acting on the crane are: 1. Force 1: F1=(50 i -30 j +40 k) N is applied at Point B (2,4,0).2. Force 2: F2=(20 i +45 j +10 k) N is applied at Point C (3,1,2).3. Force 3: F3=(25 i 15 j 20 k) N is applied at Point D (1,5,1).4. Additionally, a moment of M =(8 i +12 j 6 k) Nm is acting about Point A (0,0,0). Find the equivalent force and moment system at Point A.
