Cartesian Form for Vector Formulation
Description
The Cartesian form for vector formulation is a process to calculate the moment of force using the position and force vectors. The moment of force is defined as the cross-product of these vectors, making it a vector quantity. The Cartesian form of the position and force vectors involves unit vectors, which can be used to express the cross-produc...

The moment of force is defined as the cross-product of position and force vectors.
The cross-product for the moment can be expressed in the determinant form, using unit vectors and the Cartesian form of position and force vectors.
The determinant is expanded to determine the Cartesian vector formulation of the moment of force.
