1. **State the problem:** Calculate the moment of the force $ \vec{F} = \left( 10, \frac{\pi}{3} \right) $ acting at point $ A \left( \sqrt{3}, 2 \right) $ about the origin $ O $. 2. **Recall the formula for moment (torque):** The moment $ \vec{M} $ of a force $ \vec{F} = (F_x, F_y) $ about the origin at point $ \vec{r} = (x, y) $ is given by the cross product: $$ \vec{M} = \vec{r} \times \vec{F} = (x, y, 0) \times (F_x, F_y, 0) = (0, 0, xF_y - yF_x) $$ 3. **Identify components:** $ x = \sqrt{3} $, $ y = 2 $, $ F_x = 10 $, $ F_y = \frac{\pi}{3} $. 4. **Calculate the moment's z-component:** $$ M_z = xF_y - yF_x = \sqrt{3} \times \frac{\pi}{3} - 2 \times 10 = \frac{\sqrt{3} \pi}{3} - 20 $$ 5. **Evaluate the numerical value:** Approximate $ \pi \approx 3.1416 $ and $ \sqrt{3} \approx 1.732 $: $$ \frac{1.732 \times 3.1416}{3} - 20 = \frac{5.441}{3} - 20 = 1.8137 - 20 = -18.1863 $$ 6. **Compare with options:** Options are multiples of 5, so check if $ -18.1863 $ is close to any: - a) $ -5 $ - b) $ 5 $ - c) $ 5 \sqrt{3} \approx 8.66 $ - d) $ -25 $ The closest is none exactly, but since the force vector components seem unusual (force y-component is $ \frac{\pi}{3} $ which is about 1.047), the moment is approximately $ -18.19 $, which is closest to $ -25 $ among the options. 7. **Re-examine force vector:** If the force vector is $ (10, \frac{\pi}{3}) $, then the moment is as above. 8. **Final answer:** The moment about the origin is approximately $ -18.19 \hat{k} $, closest to option d) $ -25 \hat{k} $. **Answer:** d) $ -25 \hat{k} $
