Quick question on reducing a moment and force to a single force

    The question I'm doing asks me to reduce a moment and force at point a to a single force system. Is this just basically d=M/F so that d is the distance from a that the single force, F is. Where M is the moment.

    So if I have a moment of 640Nm and a force of 60i + 20j N at A,
    would the single force system just be a distance from A so that d=640/F
    We're not given a specific distance though.

    I'm guessing here but think you need to use pythagoras to get the magnitude of the 60i+20j piece. Once you have that, you can work out d.

    Does that make sense?
