Here we consider force and moment equivalence in the context of distributed loads. I have written the equations slightly differently here than I did in lecture, so if you took good notes in class you now have to slightly different views of the process. In the end, the key point is that the force equivalence equation gives you the magnitude of the force resultant, while the moment equivalence equation gives you its location.
