How do I calculate the resultant of moments?
http://i.imgur.com/3xavLvE.png?1
What is the resultant moment of the original force-couple system about the point D?
I also know that the moment produced by the force P about the point D is 37.23 kNm, I'm not sure if this piece of information is necessary, though.
Thank you.

If U are correct in that the moment of P about D is: 37.23 kN CCW
then
The force F has its line of action thru D so there's no moment of F about D
The moment of 50 kN-m about B is the equivalent of: a force of (50 kN-m)/3 m or = 16.67 kN acting at point o, in a direction of 90° to the line B-o in such a way as to give a CW torque at B.
This 16.67 kN force acting at o would then have a moment about D of:
16.67 kN (cos 45°) • 2 m = 23.57 kN-m CCW
The resultant moment about D = (37.23 + 23.57) kN-m CCW = 60.8 kN-m CCW ANS
