Answer:
The position vector of the point and the direction of the force define direction of the moment a force generates.
Explanation:
Moment generated by force about any point 'o' is defined by
[tex]\overrightarrow{dM}=\overrightarrow{dr}\times \overrightarrow{dF}[/tex]
The above expression being a cross product of vectors [tex]\overrightarrow{dr}[/tex] and[tex]\overrightarrow{dF}[/tex] the moment at point 'o' will depend on direction of both these vectors.
