To solve this problem, we need to calculate the moment (or torque) of the force \( F = 600 \, \text{N} \) applied at point A, with respect to point O.

### Formula for the Moment:

The moment \( M \) about point O is given by:

\[
M_O = F \cdot d \cdot \sin(\theta)
\]

Where:
- \( F = 600 \, \text{N} \) is the applied force.
- \( d \) is the perpendicular distance from point O to the line of action of the force.
- \( \theta = 40^\circ \) is the angle between the force and the horizontal arm from point A.
  
To find \( d \), we will decompose the position of point A in terms of horizontal and vertical distances.

1. The horizontal distance from point O to point A is \( 2 \, \text{m} \).
2. The vertical distance from point O to point A is \( 4 \, \text{m} \).

Now, we will calculate the moment by finding the perpendicular component of the force.

Let's compute that next.The moment about point O due to the 600 N force is approximately \( 1724.78 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{m} \).

Here are five related questions you might find helpful:
1. How do you calculate the moment arm for forces at different angles?
2. What is the difference between clockwise and counterclockwise moments?
3. How does the distance from the pivot point affect the moment?
4. Can you explain how to resolve a force into its components?
5. How do you apply the right-hand rule in moment calculations?

**Tip:** The moment arm is the shortest distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force—it can be calculated using geometry when the force is applied at an angle.
