Correct
Because a merry-go-round is free to rotate about the z axis, a moment about the x or y axis is easily overlooked. Just because a body is not free to rotate in a direction does not mean that a moment's component does
not exist in that direction. For example, a moment about the x or y axis on a poorly designed merry-go-round can cause the merry-go-round to wobble up and down.
Part B
Find M, the magnitude of the moment, and , the angle between r and the force F.
