In the expression for calculating the moment of a force about a point o, M, = rx F, r is the vector that: Runs from the point o to any point on the line of action of the force. O Runs from the point o to a line perpendicular to the line of action of the force. Is parallel to the line of action of the force. Runs from any point on the line of action of the force to the point o.
