Is the following statement true or false?

The moment about point P is proportional to the length r of the position vector, r.

Is the following statement true or false?

Both the radial and tangential components of F generate moments about point P.

Is the following statement true or false?

In this problem, the tangential force vector would tend to rotate an object clockwise around pivot point P.

Find the moment M about the pivot point P due to the force F. Your answer should correctly express both the magnitude and sign of M.

Express your answer in terms of either Fr and r or F, ?, and r.
