Two forces lying in the x-y plane are defined by their magnitudes and direction angles, as shown in the figure below. Force vec(F)1 has a magnitude F1=550N, an angle 1=124, and acts at point A=(420,0)mm. Force vec(F)2 has a magnitude F2=980N, an angle 2=87, and acts at point B=(0,420)mm. Determine the total moment about point O due to these two forces. Remember to follow the standard sign convention for clockwise (-) and counter-clockwise (+) moments.
