A 5.0 N force acts at a perpendicular distance of 0.30 m from a pivot. What is the moment of the force about the pivot, and in which sense if the force tends to turn the object clockwise?

$0.60\,\text{N m}$ clockwise
$1.5\,\text{N m}$ clockwise
$1.5\,\text{N m}$ anticlockwise
$6.0\,\text{N m}$ anticlockwise
