How to get mouse cursor in Vector3

Question

I'm trying to make a script that gives Force to the object of position "X" in the direction of mouse cursor.

 public Transform start;
 public Vector3 end; //end = mouse cursot.
 GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(end * speed);

Such as to shoot an arrow from a bow. Bow is the "start" and aim mouse cursor. I tried everything I found, but nothing Is returned the exact coordinates of the mouse in vector3. In the first person is easy, but I can not do it in the third person.

maybe:

  if (Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1"))
  {
      RaycastHit hitInfo;
      Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
      mousePos.z = 10; // select distance = 10 units from the camera

      if (Physics.Raycast (yourObject.position, mousePos, out hitInfo))
      {
           GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(rayOrigin.direction * shotSpeed);
      }
  }
