given the following system:
2 cords are attached to point C,

and knowing that
|TCB|=380N
|TCA|=450N
find:
1) the moment relative to x,y,z
2) the moment relative to the axis 'OB'
for the 1st part, what i did was
M=MTCA+MTCB
and i found that
MTCA=A×TCA
MTCB=B×TCB
now comes the problem, how do i find the momentum relative to OB, i know that i need to make a new axis system, where OB is my "y" axis, and an axis 90degrees to it(63.43° from z axis) will be my new "z" axis, while x will stay the same,
i found the angle of my new axis relative to the original system
α=angle between 'y' and OB
α=26.565°
to find the moment, i need
1) force Tx (which is the same force Tx i used before)
2) the shortest distance dz between Tx and my new z axis
3) force Tz
4) the shortest distance dx between Tz and my new x axis
i am not at all sure that this is correct, if you can see a better way let me know.
