A certain force F has a moment of 180 N-m clockwise  about point O and 90 N-m counterclockwise about point  B. If its moment about point A is zero, determine the magnitude and direction of the force. Also, determine  the x-intercept of the force. (x-intercept of the force is the distance of the intersection of the line of action of  the force and the x-axis, measured from the origin O)
