if a resistance load of 80kg has a moment arm of 0.2m and our applied force moment arm is 0.5m how much force do we need to generate to balance the load?

The balancing force about the point must have a mass of 32 kg.

What is the principle of moments of a force?

The principle of moments states that the sum of the anticlockwise moment about a point is equal to the sum of the clockwise moments about that point.

Moments of a force are equal to the product of the force and the perpendicular line of action of the force from that point.

Solving for the balancing force about the point:

Let the balancing force be F

Clockwise moment = F * 0.5 m

Clockwise moment = 0.5F

Anticlockwise moment = 80 * 0.2 m

Anticlockwise moment = 16 N

Equating clockwise and anticlockwise moments

0.5F = 16 N

F = 16 N / 0.5

F = 32 kg
