Question
**Task: Calculate the Moment about Point O**

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram shows a segmented rod attached to a wall at point O. The rod has the following measurements:

1. The horizontal segment connecting point O to the angled segment is 100 mm long.
2. The angled segment is 200 mm long and makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal.
3. The final horizontal segment is 100 mm long.

A force of 50 N is applied at the end of the rod. This force is directed at an angle of 60° to the rod.

**Goal:**

Determine the moment caused by the 50 N force about point O.
