Is there someone who can provide me with a link that clearly states the best way to tackle these problems? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

You mean in statics? This document seems to explain well the use of vectors to solve couples and a few other things in 3 dimensions (and can be generalized to two dimensions at once). (http://pioneer.netserv.chula.ac.th/...atics ch2_present_4(3D moment and couple).pdf)
