The rudder of an aircraft is shown where the rudder rotates about line OBA. The force F at point C acts in the -x direction. The distance between points O and B is 1.8m and the distance between points B and C is 0.6 m.

When α = 15°, the position vector from point B to C has the x, y, and z direction cosines 0.2588, 0.9077, and -0.3304, respectively, and F = 0.8 kN. Determine the moment of F about line OBA.
