staics help please!

Please help with this problem.. I'm going crazy.

I have attempted the problem and i think my methods are correct. however some algebra mistake is also there i think.

im submitting my work on the thread below

Question: Determine the resultant moment of the two forces about the Oa axis. express the result as a Cartesian vector.

The picture is attached.
Note*: its 80lb that's a bit smudged on the right of the attachment.

Isn't it the perpendicular component of F1 that creates the torque about the Oa axis? Also the [tex]\hat{k}[/tex] in [tex]\vec{m_1}[/tex] seems to be incorrect anyways.
