When taking the moment in 3 space i know the formula is

M = r x F


but for example ifyour finding the moment of force F about point C


how do u know from point C to where you have to make the line.

like if u have

------------------> about point C

C

you can make it


------------------> F
-a
-
C

or

------------------>F
-a
-
-
C

Ive read that the ca is a vector from point C to ANYWHERE on the line of action. So does that mean any where from point C to the line F ANYWHERE???
