M1 Moments Help

Hello there,
okay, i need some help with moments...
I'm using the orange heinemann edexcel Mechanics 1 textbook, if anyone has it to hand, chapter 6A.
im a bit confused :
For Question 1, on page 134, i cant figure out how to work out the sense of the moment, i.e. whether its clockwise or anticlockwise.
any tips?
Thanks in advance

Are you taking moments about the point marked x? Start by drawing the perpendicular from x to the line of action of the force.

yeah, its the moment about X...
okay, so if i draw the perpendicular, what then?
cause i know i can work out the moment by using Fxdxsin(theta),
but then i cant imagine the sense of the moment (clockwise or anti clockwise)

Is it going round in a clockwise direction or an anticlockwise direction?

For questions of type like e,f,h

that depends where its "attached"...?
as in it could open from where its meeting the line of the force and go clockwise
or open from where its at the x and go anti-clockwise



Edit: oooh i get it! its the moment about X, so i assume it opens where it meets the force line, using x as the rotation point, therefore its clockwise?
