The vector sum of a system of non-collinear forces acting on a rigid body is given to be nonzero. If the vector sum of all the torques due to the system of forces about a certain point is found to be zero,does this mean that it is necessarily zero about any arbitrary point?

When a force of $6.0 \, N$ is exerted at $30^{\circ}$ to a wrench at a distance of $8 \, cm$ from the nut,it is just able to loosen the nut. What force $F$ would be sufficient to loosen it,if it acts perpendicularly to the wrench at $16 \, cm$ from the nut (in $, N$)?
