Question: The moment ? b a r ( M ) O of the force ? b a r ( F ) about the point O (

The moment ?bar(M)O of the force ?bar(F) about the point O(shown in figure below) is defined as
?bar(M)O?b=ar(r)PObar(F) where ?bar(r)PO is the vector from point O to point P on the line L. This is
typically referred to as the position vector of point P relative to point O. The line L defines the
line of action of the force ?bar(F). Show that ?bar(M)O is independent of the location of the point P as long
as point P is on line L.
The moment ? b a r ( M ) O of the force ? b a r (
