The steering wheel of a Ferrari sports car has circular shape with 190mm radius, and it lies in a plane that is perpendicular to the steering column AB. Point C, where the driver’s hand applies force to the steering wheel, lies on the y axis with y coordinate yc= −190 mm. Point A is at the origin of the coordinate system, and point B has the coordinates B (−120.0. −50) mm. Determine the moment of about line AB of the steering column if

(a)   has 10N magnitude and lies in the plane of the steering wheel and has orienta­tion such that its moment arm to line AB is 190mm. Also determine the vector expression for this force.
