Question: A force F = ( 3 i 3 . 5 j + 3 k ) kN is applied at point A of a rectangular box.

A force F=(3i3.5j+3k)kN is applied at point A of a rectangular box.
The side dimensions of the box are a=0.8m, b=0.9m and c=2.5m.
The moment of F about the point B is denoted by M.
State whether the given statements are correct or incorrect.
