What is the moment for this diagram?

I am getting two moments; ##M = F.S## and ##M = -F^2.S##

I am getting confused.

2 moment is wrt an axis -- you don't mention the axis

I think answer is ##\sum M = 2.F.X##.
As BvU noted, you must define your axis.
Is X the same as S?

If you don't define an axis of rotation, your statement is meaningless.

Do you know the defnition of moment ?
